"George Soros is influencing the media": 6% likely to be perceived as toxic.
"(((George Soros))) is influencing the media": 2% likely to be perceived as toxic.
This thing literally considers using anti-Semitic coded toxic messaging to make your statements three times less likely to be toxic. I mean, if it ignored punctuation I could at least understand that on a technical level (although it would be the wrong technical decision for exactly this reason), but this is actively wrong.
