Work filters may trigger on phrases, so it's not like someone would see it walking by, but it might be flagged for review. If the page flagged is some thread on HN nobody cares, but maybe if it isn't ...

But in reality it's just a common short-hand content warning, similar to [PDF] right before a URL that ends in .pdf.

How could company filters trigger on phrases within a webpage if TLS is used? Would they have to bug the browser itself somehow instead?

Exactly, this is how they do stuff like detecting data exfiltration (though that can also be done by traffic flow analysis also).

Install a private CA and just decrypt TLS.

If this is a workplace outside of North Korea... it should relocate to North Korea.
