The number of syllables matter if the goal is to prevent a term from feeling too sterile. If a term is too long and unwieldy then people will naturally shorten it to an acronym. And once they're using an acronym then we're back to square one because acronyms are devoid of the meaning that words have.

I've wondered if there is an intent to distinguish between child pornography that teenagers are producing on their own to share with each other and the kind child pornography that pedophiles and child rapists create forcibly against the will of the children in the content.

Maybe that's the actual difference between CP and CSAM. Maybe both are a subset of CP.

Oh, that’s a good point about the syllables. I agree. “Cee-Sam” is a technical jargon-y sounding term. No visceral feeling behind it.
