Dr. Michael Osterholm's podcast and associated YouTube channel, The Osterholm Update: COVID-19, earned a YouTube strike against his YouTube channel for COVID-19 disinformation. I believe this strike was against episode 61: Divided by Delta, which was removed from the YouTube platform. His team challenged the strike and failed to remove the strike and his channel is at risk of being deplatformed for disinformation. In episode 62, he described his attempt at countering misinformation in episode 61 as the reason for having an algorithm capturing his post as disinformation. He's caught in the position of being unable to talk about the disinformation and countering said disinformation, because mentioning banned words could trigger the automated strike. Anybody from Google / YouTube able to reach out to UofM's legal team to sort out his channel? Osterholm said that he had asked his university's legal group for assistance. It would be awesome if his channel could gain verified status to provide a rational voice against all the COVID-19 misinformation out there.
This is Osterholm's wiki bio, notably he is the head of CIDRAP he was named as an advisor by Biden during his transition : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Osterholm
Link to CIDRAP and the type of material he's putting out under his podcast for the public's benefit: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/
Link to his YouTube channel. It's a real shame he's unable to get a verified channel due to his low subscription numbers. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/podcasts-webinars
