The world's libraries and archive.org have already curated the classic texts on the production of explosives and fireworks, from benchtop scale all the way up to industrial. No casual internet commentator need fear that they're exposing dangerous secrets. It is all out in the open already. The Chemistry Of Powder And Explosives by Tenney L.

I'm not going to link all 10 volumes of Fedoroff's Encyclopedia of Explosives and Related Items, but they're online too. They are sitting on the shelves of university libraries around the world and have been for decades. So are books about the production and use of chemical warfare agents! These books are also much higher quality than information circulating in text files or printed "cookbooks" selling the allure of forbidden knowledge. Generally speaking, people don't abuse this knowledge to violent ends because 1) Most people never seriously intend to commit violence in the first place. 2) Of the few people with premeditated intent to commit violent crime, most will not or even can not manage to make effective poisons and explosives from accessible materials, even given a curated reading list of relevant books. Technical aptitude and diligent study do not intersect with violent criminality very often.
