Did anyone ever have trust in big tech? They've always been soulless right wing corporations.
Exactly. I see no evidence in the article that this is a trend - that seems to be a naive interpretation by an incompetent reporter. They've just confirmed something that has always been true.
Also:
While teens may or may not track these tech news headlines as closely as their adult counterparts, this overall shift in sentiment is affecting them, too.
Uh no, it's the adults who are out of touch here. The old media news headlines don't represent reality very well.
If you ever trusted a corporation, you need to have your head examined
Woah, you can trust big corps!
But only to fuck you over.
Oh no, who could've figured that? /s
Have their usage rates reflected their lack of trust? Unless it has, I doubt companies care.
I've noticed at least among my peers that the Meta policy change relating to Queer people and Immigrants was the final nail in the coffin.
I, personally, know of hundreds of family/friends that left because of it..Many went to Bluesky.
Sensible people.
Good.
The kids are all right.
