On June 15, 2026, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the UK government’s intention to ban children under the age of 16 from accessing social media services. 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.The UK government announced on June 15, 2026, plans to ban social media services for under-16s, modeled on Australia's approach and covering major platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, Facebook, and X. This followed a March–May consultation that drew over 116,000 responses and showed strong parental backing. Regulations are scheduled to be laid before Parliament by the end of 2026, with implementation targeted for spring 2027 under powers tied to the Online Safety Act. Additional default restrictions on features like livestreaming and stranger contact will apply to under-18s, with further details on overnight curfews for 16- and 17-year-olds released in July. Key variables for timing include the parliamentary vote, Ofcom's age-assurance guidance due by October, enforcement mechanisms, and any compliance or legal challenges from platforms.
