Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.

But it is always abuse regardless of the term, so a new term is wildly unnecessary

Sometimes, terms need changing to separate it from something else. Porn in itself is legal and fine. When adding children in the mix it's easy to get caught up in the porn part of the discussion rather than the child part.

Separating the terms puts the focus more on the child abuse part.

I've literally not once seen anyone "get caught up in the porn part" what

Have you been paying attention to the debate at all?

Many bills in the US have been proposed to mitigate child porn by just targeting porn in general.

Why are you opposed to using terms that are accurate?
