Facebook and Twitter were reportedly not invited by the White House to a social media summit being hosted by President Trump.
CNN reports the two prominent social media companies were not extended invitations, according to The Hill citing sources familiar with the matter.
The summit, set for Thursday, is set to address issues relevant to social media today, all the more important as Trump utilizes the platforms like no other president before him.
The White House has not made public the various companies that will be attending Thursday's event.
Trump has frequently gone after Twitter and Google for what he alleges, without evidence, is the censoring of conservative voices on the platforms.
He previously met with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to address his grievances with their companies.
Trump reportedly questioned Dorsey specifically on why he was losing followers on Twitter, to which Dorsey explained it was likely bots who were removed from the platform causing Trump's loss of followers.
