Frankly the quality of the reporting is a bit low.
It's Techcrunch, mentioning a report from CommonSense here:
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/research/research-brief-teens-trust-and-technology-in-the-age-of-ai https://www.commonsensemedia.org/research/research-brief-tee...
which then you need to download as a PDF.
Which then you need to scroll to page 5 of 6 where there is a bar chart this way posed:
"Overall, how much of the time do you think you can trust major technology companies (i.e., Google, Apple, Meta, TikTok, Microsoft, etc.) to ________?"
Not sure why then they gave ONLY TWO COLLAPSED OPTIONS:
Trust hardly ever/some of the time
Trust most of the time/always
While in the other questions there were 4 answering options here they collapsed the answering to extremes.
Yeah in general you should not trust anybody ALWAYS. So it's good to be skeptic and double check and don't take things for granted. Teenagers should rebel against incumbents anyway, it's the way we move forward. For teenagers, FAANGS are like what IBM was to Steve Jobs and Apple. I only hope that while they will destroy the old they will find a way to make a new one which is overall better.
Finally, the results might be true and accurate but the quality of the reporting from CommonSense and TechCrunch makes me feel as usual they are looking for drama and conflict.
