Can you be more specific? Robinhood & Webull are the only two that I'm aware of.

TD Ameritrade is preventing me from opening positions right now.
TD Canada has prevented some forms of orders (e.g. market buy), but not limit buy - I think this isn't so bad as their clients might expect the quoted price and get screwed at open because of volatility
Ally was as well (I am not sure who fills the orders), but Fidelity was still working for me.
tastyworks went to close-only @ 11:39AM per an email, and opened it back up at 3:12PM today. They blamed Apex clearing, which is the custodian for tastyworks accounts.
212 did this aswell.
Tastyworks also blocked opening new positions.
