>Please stop calling it child pornography. These are images of child sexual abuse.
Under the law, what is defined as "child pornography" extends far, far beyond actual images of child sexual abuse. A teenage girl taking a nude picture of herself in a suggestive pose, for example, is not a child being sexually abused. But the law still considers that child pornography.
>and how this abuse causes no harm, and how it should be fine for people to make and possess and distribute these images of abuse
Can you show me one example of someone on HN (with an un-hellbanned account) claiming that child sexual abuse is harmless, or that producing non-simulated images depicting sexual abuse is fine?
