  It's time for our third VERGE TECH SURVEY - attitudes about tech from a nationally-representative sample of people. For the third year in a row, Google and Amazon remain beloved, above Apple and Microsoft, and far above Facebook and Twitter. https://www.theverge.com/... https://t…

  Wow - 90% approval rating for Google vs 79% for Apple! Further evidence that (Tech) Twitter isn't representative of the world. https://twitter.com/...

  I'm curious to talk to the 3% of people who have a strong enough opinion about Sonos to believe it negatively impacts society. https://twitter.com/...

  I am glad to see the mass public do a better job than many commentators of distinguishing the social impact of “tech companies” from the impact of two specific social media companies. https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Amazon, Google, Netflix and others have a single identifiable core function they do well (deliver package, give search results, play movie) that people like and find reliable. Facebook has no clear single task you can approve/disapprove of, and that'll be its downfall. https://tw…

  The “techlash” looks a little different outside of DC. Very interesting that Twitter, a platform that generally receives much less scrutiny from either Capitol Hill or regulators, is far less popular than other platforms based in the U.S. It's even behind Facebook. https://twitte…

  Google makes great products that people like and use on a daily basis. Yes, I'm biased. But it's true. Google is a net plus in the world—by a strong margin. https://twitter.com/...

  YouTube continues to get a pass. I understand why Facebook feels like they are unfairly targeted. Well anyway, back to watching an #Ivermectin taste test video on YouTube... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  These polling questions are dumb because in “reality” I don't yet see Facebook or anyone else actually getting punished yet https://twitter.com/...

  over the course of the pandemic, there was an increase in negative sentiment toward facebook, and an increase in “break em up!” sentiment toward big tech in general. AND this survey was conducted BEFORE the revelations of whistleblower frances haugen. https://www.theverge.com/...…

  Facebook is still popular, but it's getting less popular fast (from our annual tech survey) https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
