SEC suspends trading in 15 securities due to questionable social media activity

Sounds more like the SEC have found a bunch of worthless penny stocks they can use to justify some new rules and regulations that will also conveniently affect the stocks that have been all over the news without directly citing those stocks since that would surely cause an uproar.

They aren't new rules or new regulations.

Sure, because what has been going on forever is the thing that just happened in the last month and not the age old scam.

Hey, saying that out loud, it sounds like maybe you’d be interested in a random penny stock I heard good things about!

This is an obnoxious answer to a valid point.

There aren't any new rules or regulations. It's a valid answer to an obnoxious "point"

Lammy claimed new rules and regulations, that's directly up thread, not a sibling comment.

Yeah, it's like "yes we stopped GME being traded but also all these others, we aren't focussing on one stock here"

Yet, is my point. If they do then they can say "Gme is not a special case"

What an insane pivot from the factual inaccuracy of “the SEC stopped GME trading.” Just admit you had no idea what you were spewing and move on.

I won't because I understand what I said. If your reading comprehension is so poor that is the fault of your education.

The self-delusion required to think that any form of regulation is somehow an affront to your personal freedom is the hallmark of our broken society.

Regulations go against personal freedom by definition

Don’t confuse freedom with anarchy

serious philosophical question that i'm uneducated about -- please don't mistake it as my arguing with your statement :

what is the difference between total freedom and total anarchy?

Regulation seems to hurt personal choice for the sake of personal security/well-being; anarchy being a state of total non-regulation then appears to be the state that is closest to the point where personal freedom has escalated to the highest level possible.

Is this balanced by the opportunity that is awarded to those in a governed state that no longer exists for the person in a state of anarchy?

In other words : does the freedom of choice that a structured government gives the individual PLUS the benefits of said society (roads, medicine, whatever) ensure greater freedom of personal choice compared to the person who lives in a state of non-regulated anarchy and isn't afforded opportunity by the infrastructure -- but is uninhibited by regulation?

Is there any meaningful philosophical consensus on this idea, or is it by-and-large unanswered? I'm not really in-touch with the philosophy world.

anarchy is just an unstable state preceding despotism. my rationale for that isn't philosophical, it's game theoretical.

in anarchy, there isn't anything that can stop others from enslaving or murdering me or people I care about. actually, it's likely a positive outcome for my captors or killers. regulation and enforcement give me more freedom in the sense that opportunists exploiting their absolute freedoms go from +EV to -EV. note that the first one to eliminate opponents who employ the same strategy becomes the despot.
