It isn't banning posting videos of flying drones, it means that if you make money off posting a video of flying a drone, it means you are operating a drone commercially, which is not allowed. It has nothing to do with speech, it is about unlawfully flying.

The act of flying a plane becomes retroactively illegal because money was made from a video? Can we be adults and admit this has nothing to do with lawfulness and everything to do with money?

Of course it has to do with money, we are talking about whether or not it is a commercial activity, which is exactly what determines whether or not the flight is in violation of the FARs. I'm not sure what your point is.
