    it implies consent

    It absolutely does not. This is what absolutely drives me fucking crazy about this, that not a single person who makes this assertion has actually looked up the definition.

        CSAM is more accurate as H2O is more accurate instead of water or NaCl is for salt. Doesn’t mean that you have to use it, and when the word pornography is used after the word child, everyone who is sane should know that it’s wrong

        Are there really people dumb enough who think CP implies that the children consented to that?

        I think CP is a simpler and clearer term than CSAM.

        My advice is to know when to cut losses. If they don’t mean harm then just don’t reply to them, if they do mean harm then report them.
