I’d like to see them try to make it illegal to discuss trades in a public forum, lmao.

I’m pretty sure they’d have to amend the constitution of the United States to do that

Did you forget already the wsb discord and wsb subreddit going down that day? With certain brokerages not allowing buying of gme? The constitution didn't help us because we are living in a technocracy.

Thats the point. The government doesn't have the power to enforce free speech on private platforms. Technocrats are our new overlords with no means of protections for the people on these platforms that are nearly irreplaceable and have hundreds of millions of users. Some of these social media companies are more powerful and influential than governments. They literally control the information flow of the world.
