New LJ "Spam protection" -- turn it OFF if you maintain a community

LJ turned this on by default for all communities without any notice to community maintainers. LJ belatedly and incompletely described the new feature in this news announcement, several days or weeks

I've never seen that before -- a Facebook 'Like' automatically generating a comment in an LJ post. Is this a new thing?
