The question to me from the data is, have new institutions formed in the last 20 years that people trust more? The 'large technology companies' entry is indicative, but not a strong signal to me. Platforms are institutions. You likely trust your ISPs (but not phone companies), and you absolutely trust some of the platforms you use, even if that trust is tragically misplaced. Networks formed from conferences are defacto shadow institutions (defcon/BH, CCC, burning man, SXSW, WEF, etc). It suggests that new institutions can form pretty spontaneously. You just have to want them.
