I'm not going to tell individual contributors what they can and can't post on their personal accounts, but if you know of any more AMA branded content that portrays content that is contrary to our values please let me know and I will review it.

FWIW that video was uploaded in 2014 when the landscape wasn't quite as clear as it's spelled out now.
The two videos I pointed out were the ReadmadeRC video in the AMA Flight School links and the 2014 one you are refering to. That
2014 video is the only link on the FPV Beginners Getting Started page and was obviously updated since then as noted in the caption.
There are other FPV links on AMA Flight School. I didn't look through them all but suffice to say all of this equipment is BVLOS by design.

Note: Long-range FPV was just as illegal in 2014. AMA sued the FAA over it then dropped it, as you recall.
