Twitter, Meta and TikTok are three of the world�s biggest social media
giants.

They�re also three of the brands with the worst reputations in the U.S., according to the recently released 2023 Axios Harris Poll 100 reputation rankings.

Millions of monthly active users across the country couldn�t keep the
social media companies off the list, which Axios and The Harris Poll
compiled by asking more than 16,000 Americans to score the 100 companies
they considered �most visible� across nine categories of reputation.

Meta and Twitter both scored poorly in the �culture� and �ethics�
categories. Each business recently faced public backlash after laying off thousands of workers over email � just one in a series of escalating
dramas at Twitter, which Fidelity estimates is now worth one-third of the
$44 billion Elon Musk paid for it in October 2022.

TikTok underperformed in �citizenship� and �character,� amid growing
concerns from American lawmakers over potential Chinese federal government influence on the platform.

They�re not the only brands with low approval ratings right now. Here are
the seven brands with the worst reputations in America, according to the
poll:

The Trump Organization
FTX
Fox Corporation
Twitter
Meta
Spirit Airlines
TikTok

Americans named the Trump Organization as the company with the worst
public perception in the country. It�s the only business on the list with
a �very poor� overall score, the lowest possible tier.

The Trump Organization scored particularly low in the �character,� �trust�
and �ethics� categories. The ranking was published just days before former president Donald Trump, who ran the Trump Organization for decades, was
charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records ahead of the
2016 presidential election.

Now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX has the second-worst reputation amongst Americans, following its collapse in November 2022. The saga
deepened after CNBC reported that ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried traded
funds from borrowers� accounts without permission, resulting in a billion- dollar class action lawsuit.

Fox Corporation made the list ahead of settling its Dominion Voting
Systems defamation lawsuit for $785 million last month. The media company
was sued for publishing the false claim that voting machines rigged the
2020 election.

BP and Bitcoin just missed the top seven, but still earned �poor� ratings.
BP�s Gulf of Mexico oil spill earned it the title of �Worst Company in
America� in 2011. Twelve years later, it seems the British oil and gas
giant still has a long way to go to build trust with the public, scoring particularly low in the �citizenship� and �ethics� categories.

Other notable companies on the list include fashion businesses Balenciaga
and Shein, which checked in at Nos. 10 and 16, respectively.

Some Twitter users are still calling for Balenciaga boycotts months after
a November 2022 ad depicted children holding harness-wearing teddy bears.
The Spanish luxury fashion house later apologized in an Instagram
statement, saying it was sorry for the �unsettling documents in our
campaign.�

This year marks Balenciaga and FTX�s first appearances among the country�s
100 most visible companies.

The Trump Organization, TikTok and Spirit Airlines held their spots from
last year�s rankings. Meta and Twitter became slightly more reputable, by
one spot each, and Fox Corporation went from fifth-worst to third-worst.
