I know and work with a lot of people outside of the tech sphere, and nowhere near SF, who have quite negative views of Google and Facebook. Mainly in the Chemistry and Biology spaces, though to be fair those people are generally very highly educated and tend to maintain a high awareness of what goes on in the world in general. Your claim about the "real world" sort of boils down to "people are less likely to dislike Facebook and Google if they do not understand what they are doing", which isn't really a great thing to be able to claim.
