Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if TikTok is banned for general public use in Denmark on March 1, 2026. The ban must apply to civilian access to the platform, not merely restrictions on government devices.

Resolution will be determined by official announcements from the Danish government or regulatory authorities, or confirmation from reliable news sources documenting a nationwide ban effective on that date. If the ban is delayed beyond March 1, 2026, or does not take effect, the market resolves NO.

Background

Denmark's ban on social media access for individuals under the age of 16 went into effect on February 1st, 2026, representing the country's most significant action on social media regulation to date. However, this is an age-based restriction for minors, not a complete ban on TikTok for all users.

In March 2023, Denmark's Ministry of Defence banned TikTok on work devices, and all seven of Denmark's universities have imposed a TikTok ban on their employees. These restrictions have been limited to government and institutional settings, not the general public.

Considerations

The question specifies March 1, 2026 (written as "marts" in Danish), which is only days away from the current date of February 28, 2026. Denmark's government's plans could become law as soon as mid-2026, suggesting any comprehensive ban would likely occur later in the year rather than on March 1. A complete nationwide ban affecting all users would represent a significant escalation from current restrictions limited to minors and government employees.
