This market will resolve to "Yes" if the use of X/Twitter is banned within any European country by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, a “European country” is defined as any of the following sovereign states: Albania, Andorra, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and Vatican City. A ban will qualify if legislation is enacted or government action is taken to bar the respective country's citizens from downloading and/or viewing X/Twitter, and/or posting on X/Twitter. Any legislation or government action that meets these standards will qualify, regardless of whether or when the ban goes into effect. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the respective government and X/Twitter; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Traders assign a 64.5 percent implied probability to “No” for an X ban in any European country by year-end because EU regulators continue to favor fines and compliance orders under the Digital Services Act rather than outright prohibitions. The December 2025 €120 million DSA penalty for deceptive blue-check verification and advertising transparency prompted X to propose verification-system changes and appeal the fine to the General Court in February 2026, with court timelines typically spanning 18–36 months. Recent office inspections and public-support polls have not translated into national ban proceedings, while X’s ad restrictions on EU accounts and ongoing remedy negotiations reinforce the market view that monetary penalties remain the preferred enforcement tool ahead of the December 31 deadline.
