Am I the only one to think it's rather strange that you get redirected to csam.be when logging in to a Belgian government website using your electronic ID? Really, didn't they bother to do a quick Google search to see what CSAM stands for?

as far as i understand it, it means child sexual abuse material. a slightly more descriptive term, but it's still child porn.

That's what I gathered...I had just never seen it used until those weirdos started posting it here. Thankfully just saw the acronym, not any of the pictures... Unlike reddit where I was exposed to it on two separate occasions

"Porn" implies consent. Since children can't consent, there's no such thing as child porn, hence "child sexual abuse material".

Wait, so 'revenge porn' implies it is consensual?

I do prefer the clearer CSAM that doesn't imply porn being inherently bad, but pretty sure that porn implying consent is a newly promoted concept.

Funny you should mention that, there's a push to rebrand revenge porn as IBSA, "image based sexual abuse", for exactly that reason
