victim of its own success? the ceo begs to differ. first, netflix reported a blockbuster third quarter, the company blowing past the company blowing past domestic and international subscriber growth targets and beating revenue, surpassing expected subscriber encouraging sign for investors since netflix recently announced its first price hike since 2015. joining us to discuss our bloomberg reporter lucas shaw and forrester principal analyst jim nail. what is your headline take away here? guest: like you say, blockbuster quarter. there have been many questions over the last few quarters of how long can netflix continue to build this kind of subscriber growth. there's no sign of it slowing down any further. they are continuing to make good steady progress in making their

service really ubiquitous in homes of people who like to watch television. emily: i want to take a look at a chart in the bloomberg now. this is a chart showing that subscriber growth is really growing in tandem with the stock price. lucas, and vectors don't seem to be fussed about the billions of dollars netflix is spending on original content. talk to us about just how much money netflix is putting down, what we know, and whether that is paying off. netflix has spent about $6 billion this year, which was already a huge increase from years past. next year, the chief content officer has said in an interview that they are probably going to spend $7 billion. today they revise that to between $7 billion and $8 billion. just from that, the at up to $1 billion to what they will spend next year. it seems to be working.

i am astonished by the consistency of growth overseas where they added more than 50,000 customers a day in the most recent quarter. that is primarily with shows being produced here. they are just getting going making shows for other countries. they just released their first italian original series and will release their first german one. whatever they are doing seems to be working in enough countries outside the u.s. that growth continued in a pace that makes investors happy. emily: jim, what is your take on the growth they are seeing internationally at how much more potential there is in other countries? guest: there is significant come outsideause of the united states, those countries are at a much earlier ande of adoption of ott streaming video viewing. they are probably at the adoption stage where the u.s. was two or three years ago. they are clearly going to be

faster growth over there for a while, and eventually it will slow a bit, but there's plenty of potential to go out there. emily: the amount they are spending on original content, that is not a concern? guest: no. the thing that was more striking to me than this quarter's results were those enough was adding another $1 billion to content and their guidance for earning per share and $6 million -- and 6 million or so net new subscribers. clearly optimistic projections come a very confident that the price hike, which is just starting to take place so it doesn't really affect to the q3 numbers, is not going to slow them down at all. offs quite interesting that

a strong quarter already, they are protecting even greater growth and strength, and therefore they will have the funds to spend that additional money on more original content. emily: lucas, would you echo that there seems to be a fair amount of confidence that customers are going to be willing to absorb this price hike and that as other price hikes come down the line, the customers will be respective death will be receptive to them? -- will be receptive to them? reporter: it does actually affect the prospects for q4. it was below what analysts had hoped they would forecast. they will have some effect, but it is relatively slight when you look at how price hikes have affected them in years past. there's been a lot more attention paid to them. there's been a lot of concern, and netflix believes that may have affected who signed up, who didn't renew, things like that. there is increasingly believe that customers are loyal enough

and spent enough time using it that they will stick around with it. netflix has not instituted or announced a price hike in some of the overseas countries were people would be more sensitive to it. in the u.s., netflix is a pretty good bargain, especially if you are choosing to watch that instead of tv. in some of the newer countries across asia, even in latin america, netflix is a more expensive proposition. emily: jim, what are the issues you are going to be watching over the next quarter as this price hike goes into effect? guest: certainly going to be looking at is there any consumer reaction to that. in our consumer techno graphics studies we do and our social media listing, we are going to be looking for how consumers react to that. obviously initially there's some again, aso it, but $13, $14,saying, at

it is still a bargain. it is a lot cheaper than any other kind of cable package. for all the great content they are putting out these days, for $13, $40, you can't even get two movie tickets. it is a really good bargain and entertainment. emily: forrester principal analyst jim nail and bloomberg entertainment reporter lucas shaw, thank you so much. meantime, former u.s. defense secretary leon panetta wants congress to permanently protect the so-called dreamers. he has brought his name behind a new initiative dubbed the dream coalition. he discussed support for passing a permanent fix or dreamers in both the house and senate. guest: i think there is strong bipartisan support for fixing this program and being able to provide the protections that were promised to almost 800,000

children of immigrants. i think there is a strong coalition both in the house and senate in support of the dream act. emily: other dream coalition members include apple ceo tim cook in chicago mayor rahm emanuel. coming up, the supreme court will weigh on microsoft's fight against the justice department. what this could mean for your private data, next. and "bloomberg technology" is live streaming on twitter. check us out. this is bloomberg. ♪

emily: facebook continues to ramp up its site against agents trying to use the platform to meddle in elections. bloomberg has learned the social media giant has looked to hire people who have national security clearances, a movie company thinks is necessary to prevent foreign powers from many dealing future elections. they led to search marker forvely -- more proactively social media campaigns ahead of elections. microsoft is getting its day in the supreme court over the future of digital privacy. the nation's highest court agreed to take on the long-running case between microsoft and justice department on whether the government has a right to access customer information stored overseas. this is a case that could have a major impact on the tech industry as a whole, especially at a time when access to sensitive information and cloud storage is a top concern for consumers and corporations.

, greg, me to discuss what is the legal issue the court is being asked to decide? reporter: the court is being asked to look at a 21-year-old law called the stored communications act. the question is whether that law lets prosecutors get information that is being stored overseas. the law doesn't really say specifically whether it does. the court will have to do with that someone archaic law in this modern era of digital privacy. emily: is it a surprise that the supreme court agreed to take this up? reporter: it is not a surprise because the trump administration said basically, look, we have hundreds or thousands of criminal investigations that are going to be jeopardized if we can't get access to information being held overseas by not just microsoft, but other companies

like google and yahoo! any technology company that stores information on the cloud and keeps some of it overseas could potentially be affected by the case. interviewedently the ceo of amazon web services, obviously a huge cloud platform. he suggested these issues actually don't come up that often where the government is asking for information on customers that was stored overseas. take a listen to what he had to say. guest: when you encrypt the data and keep the keys yourself, even in the odd event the government asks to try to get access, for us if they ask, we don't just say yes. we always advocate on behalf of our customers they have to come with a subpoena. even on the odd case where they come with a subpoena and have a legal right to the data, if you encrypt the data and own the keys, there is not much people can do with it. emily: you mentioned hundreds of cases. what do we know about how often

governments are actually asking for this type of information? reporter: the federal government suggests it is an awful lot, and not just the federal government. it is also the states. the trumphave joined administration in asking the supreme court take it up. the one key issue may be weather information is encrypted. that is not an issue in this case. there is no reason to think that the government would have to overcome that hurdle. it just says, let us have the information, and that will be sufficient. emily: what do we know about how the court is likely to think about this particular microsoft case? reporter: there are a lot of crosscurrents in this case. you might think it is a law enforcement issue. conservatives might be more inclined to side with the federal government. but the court as a whole has been rather protective of digital privacy. some cases in recent years have been unanimous on that score. there is also the question of

what we are doing is interpreting a federal statute. generally the conservative justices most reluctant to say a federal statute can apply overseas, which is the legal issue in this case. there's a lot of things going on in this case, and it is really hard at this stage to predict how the case is going to come out. emily: what kind of impact could this have on the tech industry at large? reporter: the tech industry at the lower court level certainly all got behind microsoft, and you would expect them to do that at the spring court as well. -- at the supreme court as well. they want to say to customers, we are protecting your information. if it turns out they have to turn over this information, it will make it harder for companies, particularly companies based in the u.s., to make that claim they are able to protect their customers and their information from u.s. prosecutors. emily: what are the chances that congress could ultimately take this issue up? reporter: microsoft urged the

court not to take this case, say you should leave it to congress. this is a 20-year-old law that congress needs to update. for now they probably will not do anything. when the supreme court rules, they may have to go all or nothing. either they can get access to these messages overseas or not. either way, congress could see a lot of pressure to come up with a more nuanced solution where prosecutors can get some information depending on the country and exactly what kind of information it is, depending on where it is stored, that kind of thing. after the supreme court rules, probably in the spring, you may see some impetus for congress to get on that issue. emily: greg stohr, thanks so much for that update. coming up, a lifeline for harvey weinstein's production company. why billionaire tom barrett is returning to hollywood. you can watch us live.

emily: the weinstein company continues to be in the spotlight after the firing of founder harvey weinstein due to several sexual-harassment allegations. amazon has announced it will sever ties with the production company. amazon had ordered two seasons of a high-profile project produced by the embattled company starring robert de niro and julianne moore. that show will no longer be made. amazon suspended he had of its own tv and movie studio, who was also accused of harassment. sticking with the weinstein company, it has been thrown a lifeline by a billionaire investor. has agreed to provide immediate cash to the film

studio and return the company to its "rightful iconic position." will the production company turnaround from this harassment scandal? joining me from l.a., anousha sakoui covers hollywood for us, d in new york, jordyn -- jordyn holman covers diversity issues. he owned miramax for a long time. he began an increasingly -- he became an increasingly bigger shareholder after it was sold, and last year he sold it to the qatari company bn. it is interesting because it will be questionable what the value of this company is going to be without the weinstein that is known for making oscar-winning movies.

it is not surprising to me that he's gotten involved because he did have that link to miramax and has done deals with the weinsteins. according to some people are on hollywood, it could be a good investment. i don't think it is probably a huge amount of money. until it isthis either sold or he ends up owning it and makes some money in the short term, he is going to have a pretty good investment. it is what he does. he takes risks on companies like this. emily: jordyn, these allegations have sent a shudder through the industry and hollywood. how have they resonated in other industries and human resources departments outside of hollywood? >> diversity and inclusion strategists and lawyers have impressed upon me that it is not just hollywood. hr departments are really taking a look at how they are messaging what is sexual harassment, how

you train employees to understand that. it is definitely across all industries thinking about how they are messaging and making sure people understand what sexual rothman is and how corporations -- sexual-harassment is and how corporations don't stand for it. emily: what are you hearing in hollywood? should we be bracing for more stories like this on the lines what we saw with roy price? >> i think so. there had already been a report at amazon when he was a senior executive there. that came out on thursday when he was accused of sexual-harassment, decided to go on the record, emboldened by all the women who have spoken out against harvey weinstein. it is really a follow-on effect of what happened last year with gretchen carlson's lawsuit against roger ailes, which also break the barrier down for women feeling confident come forward.

the talk is about who else might it be. i think some people would say harvey weinstein was an outlier -- one would hope so given the scriptures of some of that behavior -- given the descriptions of some of that behavior. clearly hollywood has put its foot down. the academy has expelled harvey weinstein. we just had news the producers guild has expelled him. amazon has cut ties. all the producers in town making content have cut ties with his company. emily: and yet it is unclear still what amazon new and when with regard to roy price. the allegations against harvey weinstein, some of them outright that, why is there still confusion over what constitutes sexual-harassment within companies in general?

>> i think people just haven't gotten the message that it is not as over the allegations against weinstein. there's interpersonal relationships that just don't, where there is a difficult and understanding that. a lot of people i have spoken to say it is not just hr's responsibility to stop sexual harassment in the workplace. it is also the responsibility of other coworkers who might see it, especially male coworkers who can speak out against that. emily: a lot of this has unfolded on twitter, including a women boycott after twitter kicked off rose mcgowan, an actress also making allegations against harvey my theme. alyssa milano kick started a me too campaign for other women to speak up about their stories of sexual-harassment. how are women responding in the industry? >> i think it is really interesting because they are being very vocal.

i talked to someone who says, you don't have to do this in a position where you don't want to disclose. but there has been a huge number of women who have come out, and it is actually kind of shocking when you see the incidents ranging in severity. i think definitely there is this in be a bit of hollywood, especially with this take place at parties and whatever, so people will be reassessing. emily: you'll have to leave it there -- we will have to leave it there. thank you both so much for joining us. we will be right back with more of "bloomberg technology" talking about china. that is up next. announcer: "bloomberg technology " is brought you by boeing, continuing our mission to connect, explore, and inspire.

authoritarian and rigid climate in china under president xi jinping. advent ofabout the technology but it has to be controlled by the chinese government because they are one thing they've want to focus on is continued efficacy, power of the commonest party. emily: what is your take on the government to take managerial stakes in companies like tencent, like waymo? toagain, they are trying make sure they have control over what these technology companies are disseminating. they want to make sure that these for-profit, private companies are still supporting, towing the line of the company's party. so we are seeing the growing involvement, entanglement of the chinese government in many more layers, even in the private sector, especially in the technology area. which is why for example google,

facebook, snapchat, many of them are not even allowed to be accessed by the chinese people. >> would you expect, we know the president xi jinping is expected to be in power for another five years, do we expect to see more of it for the next five years? if there is a new leader five years from now, do you expect the drumbeat to continue? locke: as you see china trying to exert its influence around the world, while bringing more western ideas and technology into china, they still wants to control the thinking and what the chinese people are able to access, what they talk about themselves, limiting debate even on sensitive topics whether it is human rights, religion, everything else. people are having more access to things and technology from around the world, china is really trying to play a preeminent role in the development of technology, in

artificial intelligence, semiconductors and everything else. they are trying to move away from low-cost manufacturing to be a country of innovation and technology at the same time that they want to control how that technology is used by the people of china. notake sure that they do ever get thoughts of more technology or human rights or freedom. blockedresident trump the sale of a semiconductor company to chinese investors, he is cracking down on -- to the extent that he has the power to do so, on trade with china. what do you make of that approach? towhat he did with respect blocking the sale of the american company to a chinese entity is no different from what has been going on for quite some time. he was merely reaffirming that decision of a committee that oversees foreign investment acquisition of u.s. companies. have beenransactions denied under president obama's administration, president

trump's administration, and these are done at the department level, people from -- a committee made up of people from the homeland security administration and other agencies. that committee has consistently blocked this particular proposed , and the chinese buyer and the american seller simply wants to president trump for an appeal, and he denied the appeal and upheld the committee decision. many of these deals are blocked, whether it is deals from israel, france, china, germany, they have been blocked in the past by this little-known committee. they are supposed to be focused on national security and this is an area involving various sensitive technology which america thought that if china were to purchase, would jeopardize an independent supply chain of semiconductor chips used by american companies and ultimately by our military as well. emily: and yes, president trump

has increasingly adopted a isolationist approach when it comes to trade and other things. what does it mean for u.s.-china relations? >> the u.s.-china relationship is very strong. millions of jobs in america depend on exporting need in america goods and services to goods -- made in america and services to china, from food, weeks, soybeans, you name it. and we americans use many things in our daily lives manufactured in china. we depend on this ever deepening economic relationship, and if were ever to get into a trade war, if president trump were block the was ever to tariffs or raise the tariffs, it would raise the pr ices of those products and china would retaliate.

they would impose huge tariffs on things like automobiles, agriculture, on airplanes, which would impact american workers. -- boeing50% ofbowing airplanes are sold to chinese companies. nobody wins in a trade war, it is always the cause is and always a workers. think the u.s. relationship with china is at risk in this administration? do havee actually differences with the chinese on trade, human rights, some of their territorial claims and other issues. but ever since nixon wants to china 45 years ago, our relationship has gotten stronger, we have many more areas of common interest and cooperation and our naval forces have worked together to stop paris he off the coast of africa

rhetoric has heated up again. i think that is bad and we need to work with china and find a way that we can work with them, south korea, russia, japan and north korea, to solve the north korean problem so that they do not develop nuclear weapons and a delivery system available of delivering them and threatening the united states mainland or our allies. thank you, gary locke, former u.s. ambassador to china and former secretary of commerce. thank you for joining us. coming up, a startup that is looking to turn the movie theater experience on its head. will move the past birth or cash s takell moviepas this experience --♪ ♪
