It’s child porn, and as horrifying as you’ve been told it is. Some scumbag trolls were posting it on lemmy.world’s memes sub and so .world finally decided to close open signups.
a) “CP” is a very online phrase that I imagine hasn’t permeated popular culture for good reason
b) calling it “pornography” is tacitly implying it is arousing and/or serves a purpose, by calling it “abuse material” you remove any positive connotations
I think being more specific is also a good thing. Two letter acronyms are too broad. As CSAM, it’s unambiguous what it refers to. But CP means many things. Eg, in software dev, it’s often used for “control plane”. Some video games (eg, Pokemon Go) use it for “combat power”. I think ESO used it as “champion points” (though might have been a different MMO).
That’s absurd. People aren’t stupid. We’re capable of understanding context and playing semantical games with something so serious is quite honestly pretty offensive.
What does CSAM exactly mean? (I understand the point of the meme completely just never heard of such abbreviation.

When did we switch to that instead of CP?

Ah, makes sense now.
Bullshit, child porn is “cp”. CSAM means Child Sexual Abuse Material
