It is no surprise to see Facebook so untrusted, especially not after this year’s various scandals. The company’s involvement with Cambridge Analytica helped influence several political movements. Later in the year, Facebook was found to be scraping data from Android users without their knowledge. Perhaps the only real surprise is why so many people still use Facebook. There certainly seems to be a changing of the tide, where users are becoming more aware of the issues the company has. Without shoring up its privacy and being more transparent it is easy to see the network will bleed users in the coming years. Not least because the landscape of social media is changing. Users are already turning to Facebook’s own Instagram and crowning it the social media network of the moment. Other Companies As for trusted companies, Netflix scored the highest and is the most trusted tech giant with just 0.9 percent, with Tesla scoring 1.3 percent. Microsoft and Apple also fared well, with both companies scoring 2 percent.
