%N Primes p such that neither 2^p - 2 nor 2^p + 2 is squarefree.

%C Primes p such that p-1 is in A187965. In particular, this sequence is infinite since all primes congruent to 31 mod 60 (79 mod 156, 111 mod 220, ...) are here. - _Jianing Song_, Jan 20 2021

%e 31 is in this sequence because 2^31 - 2 is divisible by 3^2 and 2^31 + 2 by 5^2.
