   • 1983 August 20, Sue Hyde, quoting Gloria Allred, “'Romantic Dinners' For Hets Only?”, in Gay Community News, volume 11, number 6, page 2:

     If a restaurant had a policy that two blacks or two Catholics could not sit together, everyone would understand that that policy is unacceptable and illegal. Similarly, we feel that insisting that two people of the same sex cannot sit together is also violative of the law.

   • 2021 April 6, Daisuke Wakabayashi, “YouTube discloses the percentage of views going to videos that break its rules.”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN:

     If YouTube finds fewer videos to be violative — and therefore removes fewer of them — the percentage of violative video views may decrease. And none of the data is subject to an independent audit, although the company did not rule that out in the future.
