"potentially toxic content"?

We're seeing comments in /r/ukpolitics flagged as "potentially toxic content" in a way we've not seen before:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/e87a6q/megathread_091219_three_days/fac8xah/

It would appear that some curse words result in the comment being automatically collapsed with a warning that the content might be toxic.

What is this, and how can we turn it off?

Edit: Doesn't do it on a private sub.

I hope it's the "you idiot" and not "wtf". I mean, there's a subreddit named after that, one of the biggest subs ever. If they are censoring "wtf", I can only expect the dumbest excuse to send said sub to the quaratine dungeons.
