Child Porn is a tough definition too. Good example is during the 80's in the heyday of "Satanic Ritual Abuse", which had its ow acronym btw (SRA), and "repressed memories", you had lots of people being hauled off to jail from K-Mart photo labs after developing pictures of their kids taking a path with their mother and stuff like that.

Yes, there were many witchhunts. But they concerned (almost always false) accusations of child abuse, not child pornography. If you posted a picture that was purported to depict child abuse, but which was in no way sexual, I don't think that would be considered child pornography.
