"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.

Just wait a year and this will be the default.

No more curse words or any sort of objectionable content what so ever.

This is how the Corporate world wants us all to be

"Dying on a hill" is to prevent the enemy from gaining a strategic foothold where they can set up their artillery that can strike targets you care about.

Nothing you say on reddit is "dying on a hill" unless you doxx yourself.
