# When will the EU enact a social media ban for children? — Before April 2028

Live · $2 traded · listed on Kalshi

## About

Enactment requires completion of all constitutional and legal requirements for the legislation to become binding law.

A social media ban for children means an EU-level measure prohibiting people below a stated age of 18 or lower from holding or accessing accounts on a class of social media platforms across the European Union. Parental consent must not bypass the prohibition for the barred age group; a separate consent-based tier for older children does not disqualify it.

The following do NOT constitute enactment:

Passage by only some required bodies
Provisional passage
Non-binding resolutions
Draft orders

Age verification, parental consent, platform safety requirements, content restrictions and Member-State-only laws do NOT qualify on their own. The prohibition must have legal effect, including completion of required waiting periods or implementation; adoption or publication alone does NOT qualify.

Enactment occurs when all requirements are completed, regardless of pending judicial challenges.
