"bloomberg west" is next. ♪ emily: this is "bloomberg west." forng up, the stage is set another high-profile showdown between the tech industry and the government. microsoft is in the spotlight, a law that stops the company from telling customers when the government wants to access their data. elondo you spot the next musk?

an entrepreneur capable of starting several companies? looking for those people in china. redstone will not be testifying in a case over his competency. all of bring you up to the twists and turns in the high-stakes saga. microsoft sets the stage for high-profile confrontation between the government and silicon valley over consumer privacy. a lawsuit in seattle was filed against the justice department attempting to change a law that bars tech companies from telling consumers when the government asks for their data. this fight is not over a single request, it is over the legality of a mountain of requests piling up that so much customer data is stored in the cloud. 5006soft has received hundred 24 demands for customer information in the past 18 months. half of them came with mandates

that today not tell the affected customers. 68% came with unlimited gag orders, meaning they could not tell the customers ever. brad smith explained in a blog post why the company is taking action now. he wrote that based on the many secrecy orders we have received, we question if they are grounded secrecy.that demand it appears the issue of secrecy orders has become too routine. joining us now is matt larson. and a civil liberties attorney with the electronic frontier organization. how is the legal foundation different than what happened with the fbi and apple? >> this is about requests for e-mail. for thousands and thousands of e-mail accounts or other data, as opposed to one phone in the apple case. it is a different law, different

constitutional rights. microsoft says it has a first amendment right to tell its customers bought requests for their information. that is a basic right to know that the government is investigating you. and basic right that microsoft ties to tell you. ,mily: they talk about this law made into law in 1986 before the world wide web, decades before anything was stored on the cloud. governmentatt, the is still looking for physical files. how are electronic files different? just because they are stored in a different format, shouldn't the government be able to search and then? -- search them? matt: that is what microsoft is raising. what is the difference between electronic files and paper

files? how they are kept and providing notice to the parties that own the files might tamper with the investigation if there's a high priority and likelihood of them being aware the government is pursuing information via warrant? thatsoft is highlighting there is a disparity between electronic and physical, and congress needs to revisit how the warrants are executed. emily: we talk about apple in respect to this argument. microsoft backed apple. what is microsoft's track record with these issues? have done this before, particularly since snowden. a number of companies have done a lot more to raise this issue and notify customers about encroachments on their privacy. they sued the justice department to report requests like these,

secret requests, and a national security context and pushing back national security letters. emily: we know the government dropped their case against apple in san bernardino, but there are other iphones in other parts of the country in question. what is microsoft doing in filing this lawsuit now? they will hit 20 government is down, essentially? that is an interesting point. we saw the tech community rallied around apple. five this he questions are at the forefront of what the tech immunity is concerned about. microsoft has taken advantage. there is a bill going through congress that is looking to amend the 1986 law under which the government is seeking microsoft's assistance and the gag orders.

it lines up nicely with that bill coming out of the house judiciary committee. it is microsoft both complementing its lobbying efforts with litigation and capitalizing on these issues enough the forefront. apple set the tone for these investigations. i think the government was surprised at how much support they had in the iphone cases. we seeing microsoft giving it a go with their argument. emily: loretta lynch was named in the lawsuit a couple of -fbihs ago about the apple situation and the issues at play. listen to what she had to say. we in many cases at the doj see electronic evidence becoming paramount. we report who gets files, papers, boxes of documents, but electronic evidence is what we are seeing with every case.

emily: the government says they need this information. another argument is that if you tell customers that the government is asking for their data they could hamper or delete it. perhaps it is easier to get rid of the electronic information than physical information? two things. there is no reason why you should be different than the physical context. just because you store the nation in the cloud rather than a filing cabinet, the basic principle shouldn't change. if you have a right to know if the government comes after your files in a filing cabinet, you have a right to know in the cloud. no one is saying there is no case where the government should be barred from knowing. there should be instances where it could harm another person or destroy evidence, that is why we have laws that allow them to get these evidences. .hey are doing it as routine

you might not even find out when the investigation closes or they drop the investigation. the use are orders where the customer is never notified. that is unusual. emily: matt larson, andrew crocker, thank you. we will follow these cases across the country. we are watching the european its antitrustting probe of the google android operating system. according to people familiar matter, they have given 24 hours to remove business secrets. a sign that regulators may send out a formal complaint. google has been one of the most high-profile targets. the tax arraignments are also under review by the eu. a secretnstructing team to explore changes to the
