A big day for our friends across the Tasman with the first day of their social media ban for under 16-year-olds.
The move is a world -first push to protect children from phone addiction and online harms.
From now on, a group of social media platforms will face penalties of up to $50 million if they do not take "reasonable steps" to prevent children and teenagers aged under 16 from holding a social media account.
So how has day one of the ban gone, and what's been the reaction among Australians?
