Los Angeles already became first major US school district to limit classroom screen time. Austria is moving toward banning teen social media under-14. EU and US are actively discussing social media regulation around child safety and age limits. This forecast captures a regulatory PILOT or REQUIREMENT (distinct from already-active laws) that UK or EU issues within 52 days. Base rate for ai_regulation in 90 days is 25%, but this is broader tech regulation. A pilot digital age verification would be a significant but not extraordinary regulatory step, given momentum. Confidence is moderate—depends on parliamentary/commission timing.
