I think being more specific is also a good thing. Two letter acronyms are too broad. As CSAM, it's unambiguous what it refers to. But CP means many things. Eg, in software dev, it's often used for "control plane". Some video games (eg, Pokemon Go) use it for "combat power". I think ESO used it as "champion points" (though might have been a different MMO).
