So you're arguing that, instead of just disabling buying, they should have disabled buying and selling? That would expose them to far more substantial and direct liability than disabling new positions.

These securities should have been frozen so people could capitalize enough to supply the liquidity that was demanded instead of just letting institutions buy whatever they needed to cover their positions while forcing liquidations across the board.

Perhaps, but that’s not Robinhood’s call. Under the (likely) assumption that RH had liquidity issues, it’s hard to see what other choice they had.
