“how to block your stock being loaned to short sellers”

based on this cnbc story (link at the end)

-holding shares in a cash account at a brokerage firm as opposed to a margin account: believe this would be a permanent change and if you want margin, you will have to apply again and those who do day trade cannot do so if not margin? Is that correct? also, can you specifically list specific stock to be on non-margin or the brokerage firm decides?
-opting out of any securities lending program: is this an account feature or do you have to call? how does one look it up?
-moving to the company’s designated transfer agent - ??
-transferring shares to a bank – so you can’t trade anymore
-holding them in your retirement account – depends if you are eligible without paying additional taxes
any thoughts? wondering why they did not list putting a sell order at an absurd high price so it is not available anymore. some brokerages would not allow you to put an absurd price as far as i know.
