Can you expand on "toxic" as it applies to AGPL and why it's in scare quotes?

IIRC it requires open sourcing everything involved in a service, unlike the GPL
I'd like to see something more specific, everything I can find does not say this. Just the modifications.
You're absolutely correct, but there's a lot of misinformation, largely attributed to people's understanding of earlier versions of the AGPL, before the GNU project adopted it and reworked it for AGPLv3.
