Europol has supported authorities from 19 countries in a large-scale hit against child sexual exploitation that has led to 25 arrests worldwide.

I should not have to explain ‘hyperbole that’s obviously not literally true can be used to exaggerate and underline a point’ when that is also the plain text of your comment. What are we doing, here? Are you okay?
I’m just pointing out that your point completely stands without the hyperbole.
If you’re saying CSAM = rape, then you open yourself up to a ton of irrelevant arguments proving that it’s not rape, when the point you should be defending is that it’s abuse. Taking a picture of a kid from a distance isn’t rape, but it is abuse. See the difference? The hyperbole just weakens your position, and that’s what I’m trying to point out.

Why not use the actual acronym definition?
