You don't get it, that's fine.

The molotov cocktail is an example, the instructions contained in this article are more dangerous than a molotov cocktail.

inb4 all the leaked prompts and hacked shitty apps

The Molotov cocktail is an example, sure, but why blurring the instructions? It's not like it's something particularly difficult to figure out, nor it's offensive content people might be shocked to read.

So why redact the Molotov cocktail example and provide those instructions?

Sounds like you don't get it either; we agree.

  • It's still a weapon, and generally you don't want to distribute information about manufacturing weapons. It also highlighted the relevant keyword to convey the mechanism.

    • A knife is a weapon, and the way to manufacture a knife is to sharpen the edge of some metal.

      A Molotov cocktail is maybe ever so slightly more complex to describe/understand/imagine? I think if you've ever seen a photo or description of one, or thrown one in GTA as a child, you know how they are made. The overlap of people interested in making one and people not already knowing how to make one is surely approximately nil.
