Companies that dominate the social-media realm have lost esteem among Americans, dropping dramatically in the reputation rankings of the 100 most visible companies, according to the latest annual release by the Harris/Axios pollster (pdf).
Google used to be No. 3 on the list in 2016, but sunk to No. 41 in the 2019 ranking. Facebook, never quite a darling of the public, debuted as No. 31 in 2011 and was still No. 51 in 2018. It then plummeted to No. 94 in 2019, as indicated in a summary report (pdf).
