As for the Ponemon study, I don't have any reason to doubt its accuracy. You're right that Google may be a victim of media bias. But I also think some of the distrust is the result of Google's being a bit cavalier about privacy concerns. Facebook, for better or worse, took the opportunity to learn from experience.

This is very surprising. As someone who has written alot about both companies, I have started to see a shift in trust away from Google, though a lot of that may just be because of "incorrect" journalism. By that, I am referring to articles like the one in today's Wall Street Journal, which attacks Google on net neutrality. Google has already written a response that shows the WSJ as misinformed.
