Survey: Americans' Trust of Big Tech Drops to All-Time Low
2021-04-01
[Breitbart] The Trust Barometer, an annual global survey from the international PR firm Edelman, found that trust in Big Tech and traditional media has plunged this year. In the United States, trust in the tech sector dropped even further, to an all-time low of 57 percent.

Blaming an "epidemic of misinformation," Edelman also found a large drop in trust for traditional media of eight points:

Without a trusted leadership source to look to, people don’t know where or who to get reliable information. The global infodemic has driven trust in all news sources to record lows with social media (35 percent) and owned media (41 percent) the least trusted; traditional media (53 percent) saw the largest drop in trust at eight points globally.

Edelman also provided a special tech edition of the study to Axios, showing a similar plunge for Big Tech companies.

#3  Maybe...but not enough to actually leave Facebook/Instagram, stop Google'ing or Tweeting. The populace is ADDICTED and the addiction starts younger and younger! Watch 'The Social Dilemma' on Netflix if you haven't already - Know thy enemy. Knowing crack is bad != Stopping smoking crack.

#1  Disdain for the common man is no longer an occasional sighting. Our pampered oligarchs openly display their contempt.
