CSAM

CSAM stands for Child Sexual Abuse Material. It is illegal material that depicts sexual activities involving minors, and can include photographs, videos, and other visual or written media. The production, distribution, and possession of CSAM is a serious crime, and law enforcement agencies around the world take active measures to identify and prosecute individuals who are involved in this type of activity. CSAM is often distributed through the internet, and efforts to combat this crime often involve the use of specialized technology and techniques to track and identify those who are involved in its production and distribution.
