Summary
A new Common Sense Media report finds that U.S. teens overwhelmingly distrust Big Tech companies like Google, Apple, Meta, TikTok, and Microsoft.
Over 60% doubt these firms prioritize user well-being or safety over profits, and 53% believe they make unethical design choices.
Mistrust extends to AI, with 47% skeptical about responsible AI decisions. Many teens report being misled by fake content online.
Concerns about AI transparency and data privacy are widespread, with 74% calling for stronger safeguards and clearer labeling of AI-generated content.
Can we also get 40 year old millennials to also stop trusting them?
Yes, please, for the love of gawd. And I’d like to see more Gen X and boomers doing it too. Used to be boomers had a keen eye for the corporate scams.
I’m doing my part!
some day
Don’t worry there are dozens of us who don’t trust big tech
“Dozens!”
