evernote quietly disappeared from lobbying .We observe important differences depending on the considered country in the initial phase of the scandal (2013-2015). The report then applies this constraint structure affecting the participation of large Internet firms in public-private surveillance assemblages through two case-studies looking at post-Snowden debates in the United States and in France. These factors are: the firm’s internal corporate culture, the pressure coming from the human rights field, the importance of user trust on these companies' businesses, their sensitivity to regulatory changes, the identification of the firm managers to the power elite, the firm's dependence on public procurements and, finally, the existence of criminal sanctions for non-cooperation.

To that end, the report identifies seven factors that are likely to influence the stance of a given company and its evolution depending on the changing context and constraints that it faces across time and space. Focusing on US-based multinationals dominating the digital economy globally which became embroiled in the post-Snowden debates (companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo), the report aims at understanding the impact of the Snowden scandal on the strategies of these companies in relation to state Internet surveillance. This deliverable looks at the growing hybridization between public and private actors in the field of communications surveillance for national security purposes.
