# US bans social media for children before 2027?

## About

If legislation banning social media use for children under 18 or any lower age threshold has become law after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.

A bill that allows parental consent to bypass the ban does not qualify. The bill must pass the full chamber (not just committee) for House or Senate passage. For "become law" markets, the bill must be signed by the President or become law through veto override. Presidential pocket vetoes that expire resolve to No. Joint resolutions are treated as bills. Treaties require two-thirds Senate approval for passage. The market resolves based on the first occurrence of the specified milestone.
