Australia's new law banning children aged 16 years and below from social media came into effect on Wednesday.
The law aims to protect children from addictive algorithms, online predators and digital bullying.
Following the ban, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese himself took to social media saying both children and parents benefit from the restriction. He added that he is proud that Australia is the first country in the world to take such a measure.
On Sunday, Albanese that the move was already a success as it had started a conversation around social media among families.
Following the new law, 10 of the biggest social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, Kick, Reddit, Twitch and X, will not be accessible to children.
