service. service is everything to us. that he: you are the numbers man. tell us where that investment is going to go. >> we will be focusing on japan, taiwan, thailand, and indonesia. we will be using money for investment opportunities to strengthen the business. betty: what might that look like? bc country's growing two or three times in some places. what kind of investments are we talking about? acquisitions, organic growth? what are we talking about? >> where making partnerships or leaders inres with each of these areas.

? tty: how about the u.s. how important will he u.s. market be? it is such a small part of your business. >> the u.s. market is our dream. to expecting other chances expand into the u.s. market. betty: the u.s. market is, as -- a dream forn you 20 the market. there are quite a few established already. how do you plan on rivaling and competing with them when they times your user base? >> from the perspective of competing, we consider the kinds

of messenger competition is servicet we focus on where you can enjoy music and gaming. i think we are the most advanced company in this area, so that will give us an opportunity. that was line's cofounder .nd ceo speaking with betty liu alex, what do you make of the debut? alex: i was down at the exchange today, and it was probably the floor of then the

new york stock exchange for an ipo since i started this job in august. and a lot of excitement around this deal because there has not been a lot of tech deals this year, not a lot of ipo's this year, so a 27% pop on day one is a decent trade, but at the end of the day, it will be about what the company does next. after these first few days of trading, to the point you heard the cofounder and cfo talking to betty, they need to start to really build out the different services they are offering to users. as they said and were very clear is slowing.growth they need to figure out where they can kind of pick their spots to make money going forward. betty: let's talk about the future and their ambition to .ecome a one-stop shop they are expanding into more asian countries, focusing on the middle east as well. create the picture for us. what does a one-stop shop look like?

alex: you have to remember it is difficult -- different from the platforms we see in the u.s. there was a talk to investors about content, be it comics or different video content and things like that. outside of what you think of the person to person communication, that seems to be what they are building. they also have started to turn their focus to advertising. useritch is they have a base that might be slowing in terms of growth, but they use this application so many times a day because it is a one-stop shop. we can really promise and engaged user base to advertisers, so that also seems to be -- that is still a small portion of their revenue. most sales comes from games and figures and stuff like that, but that seems to be something they are projecting as a big focus going forward. about we will talk more

how they pioneered the sticker economy in a moment, but how concerned are investors about the slowdown in growth they have already been seeing? alex: it's going to be top of mind, especially for the u.s. investor base. they got a lot of comparisons to twitter and facebook. even though they are not the same kind of his ms., it's on the mind of u.s. investors as they evaluate these social platform companies. you saw what happened with twitter this week. that is a fear around line as well. that will be a big fear for u.s. investors and potentially japanese investors. thanks so much. what sets line apart is the way intoompany has expanded new lines of business, but chief among them is regional's tickers -- digital stickers, which are only just starting to gain traction in the u.s. but are

already big business in asia. meet tony and brown, critters coming for america as japan's messaging service makes its trading debut. stickers are a bona fide craze in asia and just hitting us in the u.s. what is getting investors excited is that people pay for them, often as much as two dollars a pack. close to $3 million of revenue on digital stickers. apple, facebook, and snapchat are playing catch-up. while u.s. companies do not charge yet, many watchers think it is inevitable they will. take, for example, kim kardashian's sticker app -- it's on track to begin more than $2 million in revenue this year. there are worries the u.s. may just be a little too late to the game. sticker usage peaked in

the first quarter of 2014, and the trend has slowed somewhat, but the committee expects to crack open new markets around the world to keep the sticker economy on fire. emily: an analyst who tracks the market joins me now. can you quantify how big the economy is in the u.s. and globally? sticker economy really is in its infancy here in the u.s. we have seen apps start to implement them, but it's nothing like it is in asia right now. emily: how big is it in asia? randy: we're hearing tens of millions are being sent, in lieu of even messages themselves. how much does the average

sticker cost? randy: apps themselves come with , to get youers stuck and to start using them, and you might notice your apron rands or favorite celebrities apps, andented in the you find that they are one dollar or two dollars a pack, and he goes from there. there is a collectible aspect as well. paying for not get them. why would you pay for something like that? most of the people using this our young people, right? randy: when you really look at it, you see that if your friends are using these, there really is some viral aspect to it. if you are a really big fan -- in the lead up, you talked about kimoji. bieber has his own. steph curry was another

celebrity we saw a recently that that weren emojis extremely popular. especially with celebrities, if you are a big fan of theirs and , youy want to show that have already spent money on them emily: in other ways. one dollar or two dollars is really a drop in the bucket. emily:who has the best stickers? they: that will be up to consumers. gettinghere are they the most traction? randy: they are getting the most traction in japan right now. they have probably be widest variety. haverms of selection, they the most characters, and they are rolling these out on a really consistent basis, so there is always something new for consumers to look at. line growth is slowing down. does that mean interest in stickers is slowing down? randy: not necessarily. they are facing market pressure

from other messaging apps in general. we are also seeing apple, for instance, this all introducing a new message of imessage that will be very line-like and will .mplement a sticker store it is slowing. i would not say that is necessarily a sign that stickers are. emily: when it comes to apple, facebook, where should we be in some of these u.s. -based apps? has some catching up age is one areas where apple will be pushing this sort of thing very heavily.

they spoke as well as part of their ecosystem they have to get users. stickers are playing a major role in that. is google missing the sticker boat here? randy: google has its own messaging app that will be launching this fall as well. we will be seeing these sorts of features becoming more line-like , and a big part of that is stickers. so fascinating. thank you so much for joining and explaining the craze to me. i appreciate it. committee chairman john thune wants answers on tesla's autopilot issue. the senator sent a letter to elon musk asking what led to the may 7 crash of a vehicle using the autopilot feature.

emily: google has been hit with a fresh round of antitrust charges leveled i.e. eu authorities, accusing google of restricting third-party websites, from displaying advertisers from competitors. the eu have been trying to contain google's aggressive push into the region. this is the third set of againstt charges levied the silicon valley company since early last year. this is "bloomberg west." i'm emily chang.

a big win for privacy advocates -- microsoft will not be forced to turn over e-mails from ireland for a drug investigation. that could affect they do security throughout the u.s. tech industry. it overturns a decision ordering microsoft to hand over messages of a suspected drug trafficker. i spoke with the president and chief legal counsel of microsoft, brad smith. take a listen. brad: today's decision sends a message that when the u.s. government wants to obtain e-mails that belong to people of live in other countries other nationalities, it needs to work with other governments and respect international law. it is very important for the we haveh sector because long recognized people will only use technology that they trust. they can trust u.s. technology today in a way they did not quite trust it yesterday, and now we can focus on crafting the

right laws for the future. arey: the doj says they considering options. do you think this is something that will be decided in the supreme court? brad: we will have to see. the fundamental question is -- do we want to spend the next hit of years arguing about a law congress passed 30 years ago, or do we want to come together and write the right law for the 21st century? we hope the white house and president and justice department will decide that we all need to sit down. we need to go to congress. we need to write the right kind of law for the future. microsoft is backing something called the international communications privacy act. how would that resolve this issue? brad: i think it is a good bill that is supported by republicans and democrats alike that would basically focus on the nationality of people. if there is an american in

europe, the u.s. government could use a search warrant to obtain that person's e-mail, but if there is an irish citizen in ireland, if that person is not living in the united states, the u.s. government would have to work with the irish government and use either an existing treaty or we put in place a new treaty. it would assure people that their privacy rights will be protected by their own laws. that is, in fact, what we believe people want. hasy: the tech industry been under fire for not helping the government in criminal and anti-terrorism investigations. how do you reconcile that with broader concerns about security and national defense? brad: we want to see a set of laws that work for both privacy enforcement, and we want to see it work on a global basis in a way that protects people's rights around the world. we respond every day to lawful

orders in the wake of the terrorist attacks in paris last november, for example. we at microsoft responded to 14 orders from police in paris and brussels and did that each time in an average of less than 30 minutes, but we need new laws, and we need laws that respect people's borders and rights, not in the kind of thing where we are seeing governments trying to use old laws in ways that we think ignores people's local rights. emily: have you spoken with the presumptive presidential nominees about these particular issues? brad: i think both campaign staffs are aware of the issue. people across the country have been following it. i think it is too early to know what the presidential nominees will conclude, but we would say this is an opportunity. it is an opportunity to come together and ask ourselves what kind of law we want for the future, how we can move from a

law that was passed 30 years ago to one that is designed for the today,ogy that exists and we would hope both parties and both nominees would embrace that opportunity. have you feel about candidates' views on encryption and data privacy as the issues have arisen throughout the campaign? brad: i think we are living in a time when there's a lot of questions about technology. that is understandable given how quickly technology has been changing. fundamentally, i think everyone is asking where we go in terms of protecting what i will call timeless values. the protection of privacy, the need to keep the public safe. what we need are not heated .ebates, but calm thinking that does not necessarily come in july in a presidential

election season, but we are optimistic we as a country can come together and fashion something that is grounded in common sense and the needs of the future. emily: coming up, 100 tech leaders are calling donald trump a "disaster" for u.s. innovation . we will tell you who is blasting the presidential candidate next. ♪

i'm emily chang. follow thetinue to tragic events in france and bring you updates as we have them. i want to talk a little bit about nest. a month after the cofounder and ceo stepped down, it has released a new product is similar to the classic camera but coming in a weatherproof case meant for the outdoors. it features a new algorithm that can detect if a person is approaching the house, alerting you on your phone. we spoke exclusively to the head of hardware products at their headquarters in palo alto. take a listen. .> it's really cutting edge ai we have turned something that is very high-end and an outer rhythm that is very complex into something customers can really experience every day. the benefit they get out of it is we will be able to tell them exactly when someone actually is seen by the camera, not just that something happened in front of the camera, but actually that a person was detected, and it

happens automatically. it just happens as soon as you are a subscriber. your video feed starts to be analyzed, and automatically, we will send you push notifications on your own and say we think there is a person if we're not quite sure or we know there is a person. if you think about it, if you have a camera to protect your home, that means you will be able to cut through the noise of other notifications and really respond to the ones that are most useful for you. this: could you have built without being able to tap into google's deep resources in artificial intelligence? maxime: this is an example of nest and google working very closely together because google is the best that these kind of algorithms and we have the best camera on the market, so both of us working together and both of us being alphabet companies

means we were able to deliver this to our customers in no time. it would have been very hard to do it without google. emily: is there a possibility you might give users the ability to tap into google software through this camera? moment nest the acquire the software, we made who hadt the customer theirroducts do not have data going over to google. for this integration, we have made sure we had taken the google algorithm and made it run on our servers. so we still want to maintain a difference -- if you want, a wall -- between nest and google data. need tohe camera does be physically plugged in.

some of your competitors have battery-operated outdoor cameras, and some potential be amers say this could drawback. why not make this battery operated? maxime: we believe it is an advantage because that means the camera can be always on, always watching. the issue with battery-powered cameras is they are asleep most of the time, and they have a sensor, usually infrared, trying to detect motion, and when it connect to turns on, wi-fi, the goes back to sleep. with a plugged in camera like ours, it is always on, always streaming, and if you are a subscriber, it is always recording continuously, which means you can always go back in time but also means the camera can constantly analyze what is happening and you do not enough in situations like some of our competitors where you only get half a clip of someone walking out of the game, and you have no

idea what happened or who that person was. emily: there were some complaints that a photo on your website depicted an intruder who may or may not have been black. when twitter user said she thought it was racist. how do you respond to that? e: i have not seen a specific mention or article. what we put on our website was actual footage coming from different customers. i do not specifically remember being someone white or not. i really did not pay attention to that. nest: what has life at been like since tony lefty? left a little over a month ago, so it's too early to say what life will be without him. ever since our new ceo started,

he has been learning how and why we do things and challenging and pushing us to think more out-of-the-box to help get to the next stage. involved was tony with this particular product before he left? do you think it is a loss or do you think nest is better off? was actually very involved with the product and was actually the driving force behind it, but the original idea came from the engineering and product team who came to the table about a year ago to say they thought they could bring to the market a product that ittomers really love because has evidence they won an outdoor camera, and they believed they could do it in less than a year, which is very aggressive if you think like that about a new hardware product. there has been criticism about how slowly nest products have rolled out. tony was very adamant that you

have a very extensive product roadmap in the future. what can you tell us about the product that are to come? will we see more products more quickly? last year, we revamped .ur entire product line we introduced our fourth product less than a year after that, so the other thing we have been doing is putting in a lot of emphasis on software and services. think wetimes, people are a hardware company, but that's not true. hardware, software, services company. we have been strengthening that part of our organization over the last year. going forward, we will need to continue to do both hardware and software at the same time in order to continue to be leading the connected home market. that was nest's head of

significant importance, but at in paris,, the crisis and there ministry president who was in the south of france himself, is flying back to paris, so there is no official talk at the highest level of government about a terrorist attack, and authorities are investigating if the truck driver was a lone wolf, if you want, or if he had any accomplices with him. the french president is on his way back to paris now for an emergency meeting. this is best steel day in france, a national holiday with celebrations happening across the country. paint a picture about what is happening across the rest of the country and this event happening across that backdrop -- against that backdrop. caroline: i was actually myself at the bastille day celebrations in paris when this happened, so i learned the news on my cell phone just like most people.
