This market will resolve to "Yes" if, at any time after the creation of this market and before January 1, 2027 - 00:00 PST, the European Union formally adopts a legally binding legislative act (e.g., a Regulation or Directive, or equivalent binding EU instrument) that creates mandatory obligations on providers of online messaging/chat services to systematically scan, monitor, filter, or otherwise impose technical measures on private chat or messaging content or its metadata to detect or block specified content.

Otherwise this market will resolve to "No."

For the purposes of this market:

- A "binding law" means a Regulation, Directive, or other EU legal instrument adopted through the EU legislative process (e.g., adoption by the European Parliament and Council or an equivalent formal adoption route) and published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

- "Chat control" refers to legal obligations that require providers of messaging or chat services to implement systematic scanning, filtering, monitoring, or automated analysis of private communications content or associated metadata to detect, report, or block specified content. Non-binding guidance, voluntary industry codes, or promotional proposals do not qualify.

- Primary resolution evidence will be the text and publication of the adopted act (Official Journal/EUR-Lex) or official adoption announcements from the European Parliament or Council. If necessary, confirmation may be derived from a consensus of credible reports from major news organizations.
