Proprietary encryption key

What if the key was in a book? It would have to be protected by free-speech, which makes it uncensorable.

What if the key contents were used as hex values to make a flag? Would you censor a flag too?

No such thing as "proprietary encryption keys" exist.

The key wasn't used in a book or in the hex values for a flag. That's like saying the formula for Coke can't be proprietary because it could be put in a book.

Software can absolutely be proprietary, and that key is part of the software.
