What is the ruling on publishing a video clip that explains how to download from social media sites, given the possibility that the explanation might be used in disobedience to Allah by downloading inappropriate clips?

There appears to be no impediment to uploading a clip that explains how to download from websites that are used for both permissible and impermissible purposes, as the clip is not specifically intended for those who would use it for impermissible things. It is good to include a note in the clip warning against using it for forbidden matters. After that, there is no sin upon the uploader if someone benefits from the clip in an impermissible way.
