Note that the IWF considers the term "pornography" as having a
somewhat legitimising effect, so they kindly request you all to refer
to images rather as "PRCBSA" (rather cumbersome, certainly, but please
see below).
"Please note that "child pornography", "child porn" or "kiddie porn"
are not acceptable terms. The use of such language acts to legitimise
images which are not pornography, rather, they are permanent records
of children being sexually abused and as such should be referred to as
child sexual abuse images."
The IWF's determination of what types of images constitute PRCBSA is a
very wide one, indeed, if one considers the number of types of groups
suddenly esponged from various news service providers. Is a picture
of a nude boy standing, casting a fishing line out on a lake shore, a
PRCBSA? If not, does it become a PRCBSA if one crops the image to
centre the viewers line of sight with the lad's genitals? If the boy
smiling or laughing, is he still being abused?
Well, fear not. To paraphrase a rather succinct American judge, your
heroes at IWF "know it when they see it--and you should, too!"
Cheers,
Victor
