    No, they are NOT the same things. Both are terrible, but child porn goes further, it’s the filming/photography of abuse and rape.

    That’s like saying rape and murder are both the same, so let’s charge them as the same crime. They aren’t, they are both horrible, but let’s identify these assholes by the very crime they have committed.

        They are. The formal word is Child Sexual Abuse Material. CP is what the people in the Epstein list call it

        Okay, I get that. Porn used to be almost a dirty word, something you wouldn’t say in polite company. Today, porn is considered just another accepted entertainment choice, and doesn’t carry the same antisocial feel. Now they attach it to subjects to indicate something that is really interesting or beautiful, to the point of being sexy, like Guitar Porn, Car Porn, etc. so yeah, Porn has become almost a positive thing. Obviously, that doesn’t work for Kiddie Porn.

        So Child Sex Abuse Images works for me.
