The difference it makes is to the survivors.

As a survivor myself, someone saying that someone had sex with me at age 3 is abhorrent.

No, I was sexually assaulted. That's it.

Same reasoning here re: porn.

I posted through both Zero Dawn and Forbidden West back to back last year and just "He's fucking Elon Musk..."

Right. The CSAM term is to place the abuse at the center. But it's not a term which has reached mainstream use or knowledge.

Which is why I do think using the other terms and them immediately explaining that's what CSAM is still has use from a

"This is why people say this is BAD!" perspective

And then some random people online replying to justify and defend him being kicked out of the bar as necessary to secure women’s safety. (Thankfully, even on threads, most people seem to recognize that this was completely unhinged.)

If you mean the life risking I think the Ayatolla issued a Fatwa against Rudy at some point.

I've done these cases too in the past and yeah...fucking grotesque

CSAM is what gets used a lot in investigative documents and among activists (NCMEC uses it). But yes they still use the other terminology because of it's known meaning yes.

The adoption of CSAM is meant to both emphasize it's inherent abusiveness and reduce stigma on legal porn.

"Porn" is consensual and professional. CSAM stands for "Child Sexual Abuse Material" to emphasize that it's always non-consenual and by definition abusive.

There's a lot of motivated based assumptions so that people can feed their own feelings of righteousness.

I have a sneaking suspicion Clyde the organizer intends to keep this money.

Oh yeah that's absolutely an issue. I'm thinking more in terms of real life conversations and not social media.

To a lot of people the statemrnt "Grok creates CSAM" will read as a "tech headline" they bypass.

"Grok creates child porn" is a much more visceral statement that will grab someone's attention and THEN you can explain why we don't use that term anymore.

If Mangione somehow beats the charges (given the police fuckups it's possible if extremely unlikely) everything suggests he'll be some libertarian techbro in terms of personality.
