I don't speak binary very well, so correct me if I'm wrong on this subject. If a number that represents illegal information is formed, that number is illegal.

If a number that represents illegal information is formed, that number is illegal. What if there is a larger number that has the illegal number in it?
Example: 10 is illegal. 1000 has the number ten in it. The "10" can be filtered out.. How would this be handled?
- Fargren 14y agoWhat truly matter is intent. If you are trying to convey the illegal number, you are trying to break the law. If you accidentally transmit the bits that form the number while transmitting something else, you are not culpable. Obligatory IANAL.
