I've seen this on YouTube, especially around the Ukrainian conflict. Many creators are saying things like "became KIA" instead of "were killed" or even more euphemistically "loud noises were heard at XYZ location" instead of "XYZ was bombed". Perhaps related in the sense of being self censorship of restricted topics, although not liguistic, is the recent trend of firearm-related YouTube channels showing disassembly but not assembly. Of course assembly is mostly just disassembly in reverse, but one is permitted by platform terms and the other is not.
