Illegal number

2mon 1d ago by feddit.online/u/CombatWombat in wikipedia@sh.itjust.works from en.wikipedia.org

An illegal number is a number that represents information which is illegal to possess, utter, propagate, or otherwise transmit in some legal jurisdiction. Any piece of digital information is representable as a number; consequently, if communicating a specific set of information is illegal in some way, then the number may be illegal as well.

A good example of how legality and morality are simply not the same thing.

Ah, so I see June 4th, but thankfully 5318008 isn't there yet.

1312 is getting pretty close in some circles, though.

Trump would probably try to make 161 illegal if he knew what it meant

funfact: 1312 is a regular postal code in the Netherlands.
