Drug education charity the DSM Foundation has refined its social media presence following a decision to step away from the platforms X and Bluesky.
Founder and director Fiona Spargo-Mabbs OBE stated: “Our concerns about retaining a presence on X have been ever growing, alongside our ever deepening unease at changes progressively made since it was taken over by Musk. Our decision to stay on the platform has been constantly revisited in light of this, and we’ve stayed all this time only because so many schools we work with are active on X and communicate with their parents and caregivers there. However, this is no longer sufficient reason to remain in an online space that has become so toxic, with cuts to safety measures for children and values espoused that clash profoundly with our own.”
The charity will retain its channels on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, and has its own website at www.dsmfoundation.org.uk.
