A social media summit without representation from the giants like Facebook and Twitter cannot be thought of but President Trump has frequently blasted them for not respecting Republican views on their platforms. The White House has not made public the various companies that will be attending Thursday's event. The White House recently launched a new tool for people to report if they have been wrongly censored, banned or suspended on Facebook and Twitter. The tool comes in the wake of several Republicans slamming Facebook and Twitter for censoring conservative speech on both the platforms. Trump in a March tweet accused Facebook, Google and Twitter of being “on the side of the Radical Left Democrats”.
