Not sure where it originates but it’s the preferred term in UK policing and therefore most media reporting to refer to what might have been called “CP” on the interweb in the past as CSAM. Probably because porn implies it’s art rather than crime, and also just a wider umbrella term
Never heard that acronym before…
Lol why tf people downvoting that? Sorry I learned a new fucking thing jfc.

It’s also more distinct. CP has many potential definitions. CSAM only has the one I’m aware if.
LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.
Weirdly people have also been intentionally diluting the term to expand it to other things which causes a number of legal issues.
It’s basically the only one anyone uses?
