So long as these tech giants fail to prioritize safety over profits, the responsibility falls to lawmakers and regulators to protect public health, democracy, and to ensure that what happened to Alex Kearns never happens again. /11 https://t.co/3CwGG3Z3fT — PolitiTweet.org

In August, I was glad to see @SECgov requested public input on the gamification of online trading apps—signaling that @GaryGensler is serious about protecting young, inexperienced investors from psychologically manipulative practices. 9/ https://t.co/zOy80ya1ry — PolitiTweet.org

Over a year since the Kearns family lost their son, @Robinhoodapp finally offers 24-hour support. But it continues to function like a virtual casino, gamified to harness psychology to drive frequent, roulette-like trades, extracting fast money from inexperienced investors 8/ — PolitiTweet.org

In his suicide note, Kearns named Robinhood, asking why how the company allowed a novice trader to get into that position. 7/ https://t.co/KTVwBVCV7o — PolitiTweet.org

Sadly, we have proof. I began sounding the alarm about Robinhood and trading apps when Alex Kearns, a 20-year-old college student from Naperville IL, took his own life after seeing a negative balance of more than $700,000 in his account. 6/ https://t.co/YJL5SfzEFZ — PolitiTweet.org

In theory, there's no reason why responsible gamification couldn’t teach financial literacy & encourage responsible investing. But in practice, an app drawing young, inexperienced investors into high-volume day trades & complex options is not prioritizing users' safety. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

To the public, @RobinhoodApp purports to be a democratizer of finance. To lawmakers, they claim to be a tech company. In neither case do they make a claim to maximize investor value. Robinhood’s algorithms are designed to feed fish to sharks. 4/ https://t.co/me4rPxE9I6 — PolitiTweet.org

With users’ real money at stake, @Robinhoodapp leverages gamified design to generate behavioral loops to push users - many of whom aren’t even old enough to gamble at a casino - not only to spend more minutes engaged, but to make more trades. 3/ https://t.co/dhfCZ0Inhm — PolitiTweet.org

On @60Minutes this Sunday, Facebook whistleblower @FrancesHaugen said, “Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, and they’ll make less money.” The same is true for @Robinhoodapp. 1/ https://t.co/KSWmrU7dvk — PolitiTweet.org
