> American companies dominate the internet space even more now than they did before Snowden I am sure that is true in many countries, but it is not true in all of them, e.g. China. China has its own tech giants and market leaders. > US firms lose contracts and relationships sour. It will be difficult to find hard data on the topic. Perhaps we could look at the market as a whole: overall international sales across a set of US tech companies over time. Personal anecdotes (from people doing business internationally) lead me to believe there is a chilling effect or loss of trust for US firms - of what magnitude I am not sure. Perhaps the real business impact is not that significant, and it's just getting a lot of press. I hope my comments do not come across as Anti-American. That is certainly not the tone I'm looking to set. I am solely looking to have a constructive discussion.
