Because in India, free speech ends where the stock chart begins.
EduInvesting exposes the hilarious, terrifying truth about market manipulation, influencers, and social media gags.
đŹ Scene 1: The Tweet That Got You Banned from Trading
Imagine this:
You post:
âZomato results look weak. Could fall 10% tomorrow.â
Boom. Your X (Twitter) account gets restricted.
Zomato doesnât fall.
But you do â into SEBIâs DMs.
Welcome to SEBIâs âSpeech is Silver, Silence is Goldâ regulation strategy.
đ The New Reality of Indian Markets
| Platform | Risk of Ban |
|---|---|
| đ§ľ Twitter/X | Yes |
| đĽ YouTube | Yes |
| đ¸ Instagram | Somehow, yes |
| đ§ââď¸ LinkedIn | Only if youâre too honest in IPO analysis |
If you have more than 100 followers, your words may now be considered âmarket moving commentary.â
If youâre wrong = âmarket manipulationâ
If youâre right = âhow did you know?â
đ What SEBI/NSE/BSE Are Now Doing
đŤ 1. Gagging Tweets Before Earnings
- Retailers tweeting
- âthis stock looks weakâ during earnings = flagged
- One guy said, âAdani Wilmar looks overpricedâ
- His X account? Banned
- His Demat? Under âinvestigationâ (source: forums)
đ¨ 2. Monitoring Finfluencers
- New SEBI circular: All âinvestment adviceâ must come from registered RIAs
- But what counts as advice? âIâm buying XYZ stock todayâ = Advice? đ¤ˇ
âNot a recommendationâ in bio = Not enough
đ 3. Platforms Asked to Cooperate
- NSE & BSE have officially asked X, YouTube, etc. to restrict âmanipulativeâ content
- Many creators had videos/tweets taken down during IPOs, results season, and crashes
đ Real Cases
| Case | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Finfluencer mocked a stock pre-IPO | X suspended him for 72 hours |
| Trader posted that âXYZ is next pump & dumpâ | Received SEBI notice |
| YouTuber shared âtarget price âš200â | NSE flagged video for âunverified claimsâ |
