child sexual abuse material: The designation "child sexual abuse material" has been suggested to replace "child pornography" to avoid trivializing the sexual abuse and exploitation of children as the word "pornography" generally refers to adults engaging in consensual sexual acts distributed legally to the general public. 6, record 1, English, - child%20sexual%20abuse%20material

La pornographie juvénile s'entend de tout écrit dont la caractéristique dominante est la description, dans un but sexuel, d'une activité sexuelle avec une personne âgée de moins de dix-huit ans qui constituerait une infraction à la présente loi [...] 6, record 1, French, - mat%C3%A9riel%20de%20maltraitance%20sexuelle%20d%27enfants
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La désignation «matériel de maltraitance sexuelle d'enfants» est proposée pour remplacer «pornographie juvénile» afin de mieux refléter la nature criminelle de ce type de contenu. Puisque le mot «pornographie» renvoie généralement à des représentations d'actes sexuels consensuels entre adultes, légalement diffusées au grand public, son usage dans ce contexte peut banaliser ou occulter la réalité de la maltraitance sexuelle des enfants. 2, record 1, French, - mat%C3%A9riel%20de%20maltraitance%20sexuelle%20d%27enfants
