Problem
A video discussing vaccine misinformation for debunking purposes is restricted because the system detects repeated misinformation phrases.
Solution
Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Debunking videos inevitably quote, display, and repeat debunked misinformation claims in order to refute them, triggering audio keyword classifiers and visual OCR traps trained to flag vaccine misinformation. Without human contextual review, automated models tally the high density of prohibited terms and trigger immediate algorithmic removal.
Actionable Fix:
1. File an urgent EDSA appeal in YouTube Studio emphasizing that the video is a scientific debunking piece that directly supports official health authority consensus.
2. Format the appeal with timestamps showing the refutation: "02:15 debunked claim quoted; 02:22 scientific refutation and CDC study cited."
3. Escalate immediately via Creator Support chat or @TeamYouTube, requesting that an internal Trust & Safety human policy specialist evaluate the debunking context.
Pro Tip:
When debunking misinformation, display refuted claims inside a clear on-screen graphic box labeled "FALSE CLAIM" in bold red text and verbally refute the point within 3 seconds of quoting it.
