Multiple trading platforms have shutdown the ability to buy any of the stocks associated with WallStreetBets. Robinhood blocked all of these: $AAL, $AMC, $BB, $BBBY, $CTRM, $EXPR, $GME, $KOSS, $NAKD, $NOK, $SNDL, $TR, and $TRVG Now you can only sell these, and can't buy. It is blatant market manipulation in my opinion. They have already been sued over it too. Things are moving very fast.
Additionally shady because Robinhood has a business relationship with Citadel, who just bailed out Melvin to try and save them from their risky short position on GME.

A lot of other traders are working normally, I can still buy it on eToro. This is 100% market manipulation but probably nothing will happen of course. There will probably be a mass suit against them but in the end the most likely end will be that courts will say this was market manipulation from reddit users and the brokers acted in the behalf of the population in general.
We already got censorship on discord and some people are trying to attach anti Semitism and alt right and trump with the movement, I see a lot of chance the subreddit will be taken down at some point. Im curious to see how this will be remembered a few weeks/months down the road.
