Every year, we take a look at the past year and make informed predictions of the year to come. Based on 2018’s algorithm changes, privacy scandals and the US political climate’s build up, 2019 is poised for social media networks to regain the trust of their users. You’ll notice the idea of “trust” as a vein that runs through our predictions.
