  Material can be anything. It can be images, videos theoretically even audio recordings.

    You’re right. It can be images, that’s exactly why saying “this man was found in possession of child abuse material images” does not make grammatical sense. It’s why CP still defines it better as we’re not arresting people for owning copies of Lolita, which you could argue is also CSAM.

    the majority of people disagree with you.

      No they can’t, not with regards to linguistics. Words and language, by definition, and convention of every serious linguist in the world, mean what the majority of people think them to mean. That’s how language works.

        “I’m mad you’re right so let me compare you to a hateful right wing grifter and also by the way, you’re wrong because all my friends say so.”

        It may shock you but a handful of Lemmy users doesn’t constitute the linguistic consensus you’re trying to inherit here.

    Material can be anything.
