In some jurisdictions such as Germany, not doing so might land you actual jail time - §52 Abs. 1 Nr. 4 WaffG [1] is very explicit. A punk song containing the (alleged) lyrics ended up with legal youth-protection censorship, for example [2].

With anything that's deemed a weapon of war, of terrorism or mass destruction, one should be very very careful.

Notably, molotov cocktail isn't part of that law because it's a weapon of the oppressors but rather the opposite.

Even Germany doesn't ban Wikipedia for having a variety of recipes to start with.

The author is not in Germany and ideally shouldn't be intimidated by German or North Korean stupid law.
