This only applies to discount brokers, all of which are licensed, regulated brokers.

You do, in fact, “own” the stocks you buy.

The internal plumbing of securities clearing, settlement, and registration is not a concern to retail investors.

Stop buying into juvenile conspiracies.

And if for some reason you are still not satisfied, you can always opt for a "full service" broker or ask to register the shares in your name, both of which are much more expensive.
