President Donald Trump will convene a social media summit at the White House on Thursday purportedly to discuss issues pertaining to social media sites like Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) YouTube, Facebook (FB), and Twitter (TWTR).

Trump's main beef with social media companies is that they supposedly target conservative commentators and politicians by taking down certain posts, blocking their accounts, or "shadow banning" them.

But there's no evidence of such practices. Because despite how much time Trump spends on Twitter, he simply doesn't get how it works.

A ‘robust conversation’ about social media

According to a White House spokesperson, the July 11 social media summit will "bring together digital leaders for a robust conversation on the opportunities and challenges of today’s online environment."

But as CNN Business points out, representatives from Facebook and Twitter, two of the largest social media companies on Earth, haven't been invited to the event. Facebook confirmed to Yahoo Finance that it hasn't been invited to participate or attend, while Twitter declined to comment. (In April, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey met with Trump during a closed-door meeting.)

Conservative commentators, however, have been asked to show up, according to The Washington Post. A social media summit without some of the most important names in social media doesn't sound very constructive. Instead, it looks more like an opportunity for commentators to cry foul about supposed conservative bias on social platforms.

No conservative bias

In an interview with Fox’s Tucker Carlson last week, Trump accused Twitter of purposely making it more difficult for users to find him on the social network. In the same breath, though, the president bragged that he has "millions and millions" of followers. Indeed, at last count, Trump has more than 61.7 million Twitter followers. That doesn't sound like someone who's hard to find.

Trump's refrain is a common one in conservative circles and points to a perceived bias that social media favors liberal groups and politicians. Varying right-leaning personalities have complained more since Trump’s election that social networks censor conservative voices.

The reality is that social media sites only take down posts and block accounts when they violate established content rules, and even then they are often criticized for not doing so quickly enough. Critics also point to a recent drop in the number of social media followers, though that's also easily explained as companies cut down on bots, or phony accounts.

Heck, chances are if you're a frequent Twitter user, you've got plenty of bots following your account right now. And if Twitter killed them, the number of followers you have would, naturally, drop.
