The UK government announced in mid-June 2026 a planned ban on social media services for under-16s, modeled on Australia's approach and covering platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and X, while excluding messaging apps. Regulations are scheduled for introduction before the end of 2026, with implementation targeted for spring or early 2027, backed by broad consultation support including nine in ten parents. Additional default restrictions on features like livestreaming and stranger contact apply to wider services, including gaming. Trader sentiment reflects the government's stated timeline and legislative path under the Online Safety Act framework, though outcomes hinge on parliamentary passage, effective age assurance measures, Ofcom enforcement, and any implementation delays from technical or legal hurdles.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a ban on the use of social media by children under the age of 16 within the United Kingdom takes effect by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A ban will qualify when legislation or a mandate from Ofcom or another UK government regulator is effectively imposed on any group of social media platforms, requiring them to prevent children under the age of 16 from accessing their services, with regulatory penalties to be applied for noncompliance.
A qualifying ban must be in effect against a group of social media platforms, defined as consumer-facing online services whose primary function is to view, share, create, and interact with user-generated content. An age restriction applying to online streaming (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, etc.) or pornographic (PornHub, OnlyFans, etc.) services will not qualify. For the purposes of this market, user-generated video and live-streaming websites like YouTube, Twitch, Kick, and Rumble will qualify as social media platforms.
To qualify, a ban must be effectively imposed on social media platforms by the listed date. The enactment of legislation or announcement of future policy without policy effectiveness will not qualify.
While a qualifying ban may include exemptions for certain platforms and categories of social media, like direct messaging, a targeted age restriction policy applying to only one company or platform will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United Kingdom, including Ofcom (https://www.ofcom.org.uk), however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
