Ok this is a tough one. I listed what I think are some of the most untrustworthy tech and social media companies based on privacy violations, censorship, and data manipulation.

I pick Google / YouTube. They are owned by the same giant company and they use extremely deceptive tactics of data manipulation to push political agendas, although they officially deny it. YouTube is the number one video streaming platform and they are extremely biased about what political information they allow on the website. They delete videos when they get popular and some say they even reset the amount of likes on certain videos. In addition, they have begun demonetizing channels and removing websites for disagreeing with official government propaganda. Many have also complained about privacy violations on their Android smartphones.

My second choice is TikTok. Despite being relatively new, they have quickly become the most used social media platform. They claim to not share data with their parent company in China, although many people don't believe them on this statement (there's no separation of business and government in communist China). TikTok was found uploading videos from people's phone before clicking to upload them. They ran GPS tracking and facial recognition technology on users without their permission. Many have also accused them of manipulating videos for political reasons.

Wikipedia is one that I placed on here because it presents itself as an open encyclopedia that users can edit, when in fact they have certain topics on there that are locked. This is pretty significant considering that they are often the first search result for many things.

Feel free to add to this or disagree.
