Why are 10 digit numbers censored by X's? When I type any 10-digit numbers, it turned into X's

Scratch thinks you're typing in a phone number, which breaks the CG about being safe

In the US (where Scratch Team is based, and the country with a plurality of Scratchers) a phone number is 10 digits. Scratch tries to censor phone numbers so kids don't give away personal information.

The phone number filter is blocking it so, well, you don't share a phone number. Most phone numbers are ten digits long. For example, 555-555-5555, 3 numbers + 3 numbers + 4 numbers = 10 numbers.

Us phone numbers are 10 digits. This was put in place to keep scratches from sharing phone numbers
