    No sir HFT provides liquidity to the stock market, which makes it more efficient.

    Removing high frequency traders would cause individual traders to get worse prices and/or wider bid/ask (buy/sell) price spreads.

    Basically the big players WANT you to remove HFT so they can more easily manipulate prices to take advantage of small traders
