CMs are usually instructed during training to report anything suspect so that Security or Guest Relations can determine whether or not the filming/photography is appropriate, and provide an escort if necessary or let the guest know that they must stop what they are doing.

Oh I know. I think Disney needs to create a set rule on live streamers. There remains a lot of confusion on them and CMs like this only add to it. Sitting there filming this in general guest areas does no harm.

That includes pretty much everyone at the parks. Disney encourages smart phone use.
Sadly the training is sometimes forgotten.

Was it even a Disney employee?
Is a monetized YouTube or Instagram account commercial purposes?
Asking for a few thousand friends.

If it wasn't, I can't imagine he would have stopped streaming.
Depends what shade of grey you put it in. I don’t think there’s a definitive answer.Is a monetized YouTube or Instagram account commercial purposes?

Yeah, this poor Disney security CM is definitely misinformed. No one is allowed to film anywhere on Disney property? Umm, sorry, but that's very much incorrect.
Commercial and professional photography and videography is prohibited without permission from Disney. Normally Disney will enforce that with TV/ newpaper/ cable media with the larger equipment as that's who their policies were meant to address. (e.g. no fliming your own movie/ tv show/ broadcast documentary on property without clearance.) Vlogging is a grey area that Disney is still really sorting out. Technically some of it can be considered a violation, but even then it's hard to figure out. If someone doesn't have ad revenue, are they considered "commercial" since they aren't making money?
Also, while there are very few vloggers that Disney works with, they have kept the doors open because they realize that it's all free publicity, and almost all of it is positive, which is good for their advertising revenues. So Disney has generally turned a blind eye to most of it as long as it doesn't cause any issues in the park, doesn't go in places in shouldn't, and doesn't cast the company in a bad light.
But as far as private, family video- that's always been fine at Disney.

Imagine being some guy that covers every single angle of Disney's rides over the years but it was actually illegal this whole time...
And now imagine that person wearing a sleeveless shirt and laying down on the ground to get a perfect angle.
...So how does it feel to be breaking the law, Martin? ICE is sure to get you next time you come back to the states!

And then Disney invites bloggers and vloggers to their own events as a way of advertising! But according to that cm in the video, they would be violating Disney's own policy if they take video of those events. Geez.

Are they trained to escort people who are impersonating Disney security?

Probably felt too intimadated/outnumbered.
I don’t even have sponsorship let alone monetisation. I’m actually out of pocket each year doing my hobby.Imagine being some guy that covers every single angle of Disney's rides over the years but it was actually illegal this whole time...

I’ll gladly accept a few million from a reclusive billionaire though if they’d like to PM me
One would hope so.
Management told him it's OK and thus totally contradicted the security who stopped him.
Your theory that Disney did nothing wrong because this was a fake security guard turned out to be totally wrong.
A Disney security worker did the wrong thing. Period.

doesn't surprise me at all. Why would Disney want to stop him? Not creating an unsafe situation in any way, and he's providing free positive PR over an upcoming item that may help to draw people in. It's all win/win positive for Disney to have him out there.
Hopefully they'll give the mistaken security a bit of clarity about what their policies actually are, and what he should be looking for (like filming in unsafe or restricted areas)
