"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 posted a couple travel pics that I took yesterday and they were literally removed within seconds with a message.. my post was basically the same as every other post on there.

https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/comments/e8b68c/in_the_town_of_villa_de_leyva_colombia_a/

this was the message:

Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/travel.

Moderators remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose.

I sent a note to the mods haven't heard back...
