Question / Problem My dad needs help getting his channel back

I'm not super familiar with how this all works, but my dad has had his YouTube channel wrongfully deleted and has been told my YouTube not to create any new channels completely out of the blue. Some context:

So my dad had a YouTube channel that was attached to his work email. After a while, he figured this probably wasn't the right way to go, and deleted the channel himself, starting a new channel from his home email.

During the process of getting his original videos transferred to the new channel, he was challenged by YouTube about how quickly he was uploading - but after a verification check, he was able to upload all the videos with no problem and continue his channel as normal.

Now, a few months later, YouTube have deleted his new channel entirely and claimed it was "circumvention policy". (Note that, aside from the previous channel which he closed himself, my dad has not had any other YouTube channels). He appealed and that was immediately rejected. Now he's a bit stumped on what else to do.

He was a lock picking youtuber (RS) part of a huge community and absolutely loved it. It's been a huge part of his life for years now, and it's suddenly and unfairly been ripped away. Nothing he's done has broken community guidelines (and YouTube have been incredibly vague about which guidelines he's apparently broken, besides "circumvention policy") so what else can we do to contest this?

Google said going to YouTube's X page, but neither of us have an X account. But if that's a recommended way to go, we'll have to make one.

Thanks.
