X amid concerns around content on the Elon Musk run social media platform.<br /> <br /> Since the billionaire took over the platform <a href="https://www.charitytimes.com/ct/Charities-issue-institutional-racism-warning-following-riots.php">concerns </a>have been raised in the charity sector about misinformation being posted and the promotion of right-wing views. <br /> <br /> "Last month, we announced that Scotland faces a national childhood emergency,” said the charity. <br /> <br /> “The challenges and threats which children face require a nuanced and collaborative response from politicians, the media, businesses, professionals and the public.<br /> <br /> "As Scotland’s national children’s charity, we want to engage in discussion and debate that recognises the complexity of the challenges children face in an environment that is respectful, tolerant and solution focused. <br /> <br /> “We no longer believe that X provides a positive space to achieve our goals to progress children’s rights.<br /> <br /> "In leaving X we will be losing our largest single social media audience, at a time when children and young people need our support more than ever.”<br /> <br /> It adds that “the best way for audiences to support our work is through our website”.<br /> <br /> It is also promoting its work through LinkedIN, Facebook, Instagram and has also set up an account on Bluesky. <br /> <br /> <blockquote class="bluesky-embed" data-bluesky-uri="at://did:plc:iq7tkxfynow7ws65v7rbrugy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbf2lrfv422h"
