tinymce 5 and n1ed - upon save to db, it also includes text "[removed][removed]"

Question

I am using tinyMCE 5 and n1ed. I have no idea where this is coming from and have search google with zero results. When I submit my textarea to db for saving, it always includes "[removed][removed]". I remove n1ed and it doesn't happen. I am stumped how to even debug. Any guidance very much appreciated.
