Someone losing money on an unwise trade is more of a rhetorical instrument than an actual rationale. I don't think the SEC ever "fixes" it for an individual, but their investigations can open the door to fraud litigation (often class action) of some sort.

The SEC and the regulatory complex as a whole is more generally concerned with market integrity.

Statements like "social media attempts to artificially inflate their stock price" sound quite solid but is actually a nightmare to define directly. But, working definitions and action-inducers are usually related to market integrity issues.
