Trump excludes, targets social media and press at unconventional summit

NewsAs the US election season approaches, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is concerned by the unsubstantiated and misleading accusations of anti-conservative bias and the continuing diatribe against the “mainstream media” made during President Donald Trump’s Social Media Summit on July 11. RSF reminds the President that a slandering of the press cannot bring about press freedom.In contrast with the summit’s name, social media companies Google, Facebook, and Twitter were excluded from the closed-door event.
