They may live mostly in trees but it's not uncommon for them to fly down into human reach.

I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of "porn" normalizes it to some extent.

The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

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.

What would you say is the difference? I feel like the terms are interchangeable. The comment you replied to didn't give the exact abbreviation but it gave the essence of what is meant by the picture.
