sigh. This will get boring quite fast because a sizable portion of people participating in threads like that find the idea revolting that actions can have, you know, consequences, but what the heck...

If you would find a recipe for a toxin that is deadly, untraceable and can be mixed together from common household items by a talented 14 year old, it's probably a bad fucking idea to post that to 4chan. The same goes for hypothetical weapon blue prints or martial arts techniques that would allow to kill with a microscopic risk.

Does this count as a straw man argument? Wouldn't the actual scenario would be more like disseminating the information that a deadly toxin that is deadly, untraceable, and can be mixed together from common ingredients exists, not the recipe itself.

Well, that depends on whether he dropped the actual exploit, or just talked about it. Which was the original question.

This is an extensively amended and much weaker claim than your first.
