        This acronym didn’t exist until like 1 month ago. Everyone used “CP” prior.

        From my observations as terminally online. I fully expect someone to tell me this has been the phrase since 1899 lol

          I think ‘CP’ is the terminally online lingo.

          ‘CSAM’ is the more professional terminology used.

          It’s been common parlance at least since Apple wanted to implement CSAM scanning of all iCloud saved images through a hashing technique. The backlash was so strong Apple now opposes CSAM scanning. This was two years ago-ish.

          It’s been around a lot longer than 1 month ago lol, I learned about it a couple years ago.

          Even if it were invented yesterday, what would it matter?

            It’s not that it matters. It’s that if an acronym is new, it makes sense to clarify its meaning until it’s clear to all.

              Fair, but the point of an acronym is to not have to write out the whole thing every time. It’s ok to have people have to ask for clarification or look it up on their own. That’s how people learn.
