Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and PragerU are among the conservative voices that have been tapped to attend next week\u2019s White House \u201csocial media summit.\u201d That news is courtesy of The Washington Post<\/a>, which highlights some of the plans for the July 11 event, set to focus on \u201copportunities and challenges of today\u2019s online environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The move won\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone who has followed the news cycle since Trump took office. While social media sites have been the subject of plenty of criticism from both the left and the right, conservatives in particular have had companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter in their sights over claimed \u201cliberal biases.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Just yesterday, Trump told Fox News\u2019 Tucker Carlson that the sites have been \u201cfighting\u201d him<\/a>. \u201cI know for a fact a lot of people try and follow me and it\u2019s very hard,\u201d the president said. \u201cI have so many people coming up that they say, \u2018Sir, it\u2019s so hard. They make it hard to follow.\u2019 What they\u2019re doing is wrong and possibly illegal. And a lot of things are being looked at right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Trump offered no specific evidence around his claims, the move follows a pattern of accusing different platforms of \u201cshadow banning\u201d Trump and other conservative voices. Last week, Twitter announced that it would be issuing warnings for \u201cabusive behavior\u201d<\/a> from prominent news figures. While not a block or a ban, the move is an attempt to walk the line between curbing abuse and maintaining \u201cnewsworthy\u201d content. Many saw the move as specifically targeting Trump. <\/span><\/p>\n
