No. WSB is not "a regulated entit[y]" that "disadvantage[d] investors or otherwise unduly inhibit[ed] their ability to trade certain securities". Robinhood is and did.

That's the first part but the second part is a separate statement against market manipulation generally. In the law, manipulation is forbidden to anyone, not just brokers and dealers.

I'd say you might be wrong on both counts:

1. preventing people from buying GME at, whatever, $300 might not have been disadvantaging them, and

2. it might not have been unduly inhibiting their ability to trade, but duly so.

You are so biased because you think GME is overvalued at $300.

Your bias even makes you defend Robinhood’s action to disable cash accounts buying certain stocks as DULY.

Wow
