One prediction market prices this story:
- Before Apr 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 56%, closing 1 Apr 2027. The outcome is Yes if a UK law banning social media accounts for users under age 16 takes effect after the market launches and remains in place before April 1, 2027. The outcome is No if such a ban does not take effect within that window. Readers often mistake the announcement of a proposed ban for the actual enforcement of the law.
