The president has also revealed how most of the 200 attendees have direct access to his White House social media director, @DanScavino, who then runs ideas by the president. "My Dan," POTUS calls him.

For disinformation researchers like @3r1nG, the guest list for tomorrow’s White House social media summit looks a lot like a physical meet-up of some who show up in network graphs and data for disinformation, harassment and coordinated troll campaigns.https://t.co/G0m5zuYjgW pic.twitter.com/TSZGQg93vM

Pres Trump says he'll invite major social media platforms to a WH meeting over the next month. Also says he's directing agencies to protect free speech on social media. But he tells some of his guests, "some of you guys are out there...but even you deserve a voice."

one perhaps forgotten factoid is that Google CEO Sundar Pichai many months ago promised to go to a WH summit on bias, and you have to wonder if that chip's bout to get cashed https://t.co/B1mhJpHoh7

Trump’s no-press-allowed “social media summit” included alt-right media outlets e.g. Minds, Gateway Pundit, Media Matters & Project Veritas— as well as conspiracy theorists like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)—but not Twitter or Facebook. #KnowYourDeplorables https://t.co/Q9NzmXYKeS

The White House -- the People's House -- should be and has been a home for America's greatest artists and writers and performers. Trump is turning it into a cesspool of bitterness, prejudice, and narrow-mindedness that mirrors his own mind. https://t.co/alu9IaayOm via @vice
