Am I the only one to think it’s rather strange that you get redirected to csam.be when logging in to a Belgian government website using your electronic ID? Really, didn’t they bother to do a quick Google search to see what CSAM stands for?

That may very well be the case. However, Belgium is just a small country in a very big world where the use of English is quite common. For instance, the European Commission launched a proposal last year on CSAM. One would think that would trigger a ‘Houston, we have a problem’-vibe somewhere…

The world does not center around english speakers, especially niche english terminology.

Pretty sure the portal name existed before people started using this acronym instead of CP.

Yup exactly. And English isn’t the top language in good old Europe - especially since the Brits left…
