I recently stumbled upon RSD Academy (previously on HN [0]), a free course in electronics, on YouTube [1].
I've really enjoyed the video lectures, and recently learned he has a hand-crafted online textbook and course series to accompany them [2]. The course site looks a bit dated, but the content is excellent. If you're new to electronics I can't recommend his work enough.
Unfortunately, the course creator has lost access all of his Google-associated accounts - including his YouTube account and multiple domains - after Google deactivated his account after it detected "harmful content".
He hasn't been able to reach Google for 4 months. His story is hardly unique, but I'm sharing his story because his course content is probably relevant to many HN readers.
He's already lost at least one of his YouTube channels, but thankfully the RSD Academy channel is still untouched. However he cannot access this channel to upload more videos, respond to comments, or (presumably) access funds from channel members.
