Do you think information on how to build weapons should be legal to disseminate? Or should they be censored? Explain your reasoning? (piefed.ca)

I know someone is gonna be like: You can't build a nuke with only the information, the hard part is getting the [uranium/plutonium (or whatever its calledl]!

Thought Experiment:

Suppose in the future, humans all have an innate ability to summon nuclear bombs by doing a ritual, should instructions on how to do this ritual be legal to disseminate?

Or would you censor it for the safety of everyone? I mean, imagine everyone having a nuke that they can just summon... ๐Ÿ‘€

So... what say you, fellow fediverse user?

Should this hypothetical "summon-a-nuke" ritual be legal to teach people?

I think the knowledge should be open and free, but I also believe there needs to be a regulatory body to keep the wrong people from manufacturing it.

Since we don't have that at an international scale, modern weapons need to be controlled secrets, sadly.
