Now they made enemies of most of their clients. I bet not more than few weeks before you will see advertising from big shot lawyers on national TV welcoming you into class action lawsuits. Frankly, I am terribly disgusted by this news from Robinhood and I hope they will be sued into eternity... and then hopefully DOJ step in an see what they did was illegal. If you have Robinhood account, write you state AG. Show your outrage in writing so they can also get involved.
