Just to be clear here, they are restricting opening new positions. If you are short on GME, you are allowed to buy in order to close out your position. However, most people are long, so they only have the option to sell.

Just a side note but Robinhood does not allow shorting on their platform. Options (calls/puts) are permitted.
