A fun little app to make: "Would you rather trust <company A> with your <piece of information X> or <company B> with your <piece of information Y>?" Two lists. Issue a uniqueid cookie to filter duplicates. See what comes back. I bet the order comes out, roughly, Apple, Google, Amazon, a bunch of others, with Facebook somewhere down at the very bottom. But I could be very wrong.

You'd be right if your survey was targeted to the HN crowd. But if you targeted the general public, it would just be confusion... "what do you mean these companies have my information?"
