6:07 pm
customers. emily: paypal is trying to get into the business. how are they these more established players? >> they are in a good spot. they have transaction data and see the business and making loans to. they expanded the suite of loans and provide a wider range of options. don't see them competing with paypal and starting to go online with the new products, but i think paypal is lending on the consumer side, perhaps they will get into the merchant side of the business. $50 million is a settlement. they settled the suit. al payment which meant that the
6:08 pm

6:09 pm
transition the economy. and nobody sells more to consumers or helps consumers more than them. that's the result they had so far. if you are going to be in china and beyond the concerns, it seems to be a good place. emily: what about the ack which situation strategy and they have made big investments at home and abroad and trying to put together the grander plan. is that starting to emerge? >> the investments are doing very well. and just gave an update and companies they don't consolidate is 37 million. the owner of the company. hey made a lot of money in investing and so in terms of
6:10 pm
making investments, they are doing well, the one they consolidate is expanding gee oggra files. and they are going to consolidate. they want to expand in an emerging market. they are consolidating and that's where their strategy is at. emily: we talk about the google cloud and they are making big strides in the cloud. >> one of the things in a the entiate them is that leadership there are playing close attention to what works for amazon. expanding the cloud business and they are following that playbook and grew more than 150% this quarter and some incredibly
6:11 pm
platform. >> at a certain point, should we be more worried about the macro environment in china? will that catch up? >> it's still a big concern. it is very uneven and the consumer gets it, too. so that's one concern. the other concern that you have o keep in mind is their losing share. 40% of the quarter. and that is something to look out for. 10 years ago if it was much bigger than amazon and it is like the amazon of china and growing a lot faster. emily: what about international growth. a question when the revenues for international will be on par what they see domestically. >> it is growing very fast, both

emily: just the latest example of how the biggest tech companies are making their content accessible to local law enforcement. former homeland security michael chertoff from washington. secretary chertoff, thanks for joining us. at do you make about what is happening in brazil and what happened and why. >> the judge ordered to turn over certain data which was present in the u.s. and u.s. law would have created a problem. so in order to put leverage on
6:17 pm
the company and hurt a lot of innocent people during the three days that the application was shut down. this is one example of a larger problem in a world which is divided among sovereign states but data moves around the globe. emily: officials have complained about u.s. laws have been outdated and preventing the work of law enforcement. what do you think the problem is? mile mile our laws are nation state based and can control the law within its domain. the challenge with dealing with data, housed anywhere in the globe and moves around the globe. when a law enforcement in one state wants to get data on a matter they are investigating, the issue is, is the data in that state, in another state, do you have competing or existing
6:18 pm
rules of law, that puts companies they are damned if they do or damned if they don't. and the consumer could see their politics shut down and be third-party victims about what law governance. emily: are their mixed not iffs on all sides? ook at the outrage by snowden. >> from one standpoint you have countries, we don't want that information turned off. weanother case, they say and are protecting us from terrorism. in countries where there isn't freedom of speech, the desire to punish a political opponent might not be acceptable and we refuse as a nation to cooperate in turning that information over. so the question is how do you
6:19 pm
come up with global standards to allow law enforcement with proper authorization to get access to information that prevents terrorist attacks but not allow nations to expose their views on political issues on other countries in the globe. emily: what is the evidence thatful law enforcement had had access to u.s. tech company data that those attacks could have been prevented? >> what appears to be the case, the problem is not access, but the authorities had information and didn't follow up on it. recently reporting with respect to a couple of the main actors for at least a year or two, authorities in belgium knew they were planning something and didn't execute warrants or didn't take steps. sometimes it's easy to blame these international differences
6:20 pm
for failure of intelligence. i think what happened in belgium it is a union issue than it impacts american law. emily: what needs to change? >> we need to reach common decisions about the law. if for example, a country wants to obtain information about a citizen, should the law of the citizenship prevail or the data prevails. you are basically going to fragment the internet and every country is going to insist that they keep data within that country and that destroys it. if you want to set a principles, a citizen has the right, but if they want to get data, they have to comply with the rules that govern that country.
6:21 pm
emily: encryption seems to be the way that the tech industry is going, is there anything that the tech industries should be changing as well? >> the purpose of encryption is to protect security. when we encrypt, we are making it harder to get the data and exploit it. ose people who should we weaken it, they are arguing we should where are law enforcement wants to promote security in a particular case and it's a mistake to trade-off security in germ. there are things that intelligence and law enforcement officials can do with respect to data that is not encrypted that are powerful tools and we have been doing that for years and
6:22 pm
quite successfully. emily: what i'm hearing, for a company like apple, that they say they do whatever it takes to make information more and more difficult to decript, so to speak. >> i should say we work with apple. he companies that are creating strong encryption ought to do it because they tr protecting people against criminals and terrorists. the other ways that they can get access to data and cooperate to get the proper legal authorization. emily: former homeland security director michael chertoff. coming up, is the driverless car revolutionary? self-driving taxis coming to a

6:37 pm
concepts, it frees a lot of time for more projects, for more peer tutoring. you can have mixed environments. i have seen my own son in it, and mentor students and really mature students in a positive way and maybe more valuable than the math or the science. emily: $22,000 is a lot less than a lot of private schools. u have a local teacher and mark zuckerberg if we are aren't back in the same situation, where we have public schools that everyone with afford and
6:38 pm
elite schools where few people can afford. >> the lab schools, i can't speak for all of them, there is a feeling that the model of education, this is the model we have seen in private schools, the factory model, you have to lecture and you have this these algebra d get a c in and move on to precalculus and the students are hitting walls and can't build things. in the lab school. that's where we share as broadly and widely as possible, if you have nothing, you can access the smartphone and educate yourself and part of a physical classroom

humidities, the he undergraduate experience will exist. we will see differences. i imcombine the college of the future, it won't be insighting in lecture halls, but much more about becoming part of that community and portfolio things -- it might not be four years, but that's your transcipts of the future and the facilities and the labs in order to build that portfolio. emily: as always, great to have you here on the show. and as i mentioned, "bloomberg west" is heading east. we will be speaking to a lot of guests right here on blook berg.
