i sit down with chief legal counsel brad smith up next. 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

emily chang has an interview with chief legal counsel brad smith. thank you, oliver, and thanks, brad, for joining us. does this verdict all your concerns about u.s. overreach abroad, or is this a fight that you and other technology companies are going to continue to have? i think today's decision is very important. it sends a message that when the u.s. government wants to obtain e-mails that belonged to people who live in other countries, in other nationalities, it needs to work with other governments. it needs to respect international law. it is very important for the u.s. tech sector because we have long recognized that people will only use technology that they trust. they can trust u.s. technology today in a way that they didn't like trusted yesterday. now we can focus on crafting the right laws for the future. emily: now, the doj has said they are considering their options. they can appeal this. is this something you think will be decided in the supreme court? brad: well my will have to see. i think fundamentally the question is this -- do we w

for more on this ruling, let's bring in brad smith now. legal officer for microsoft, along with our own jon fortt. john? >> all right, thank you, kelly, brad. thanks for joining us this afternoon. i want to ask you, this is a really interesting case in that the person whose e-mail records they wanted to access appears not to be a u.s. citizen, not to reside in the u.s., the data was in an irish data center, but the government wanted to access it, because, you know, you're in the u.s., and you could theoretically access the information from here. do you think this case is over at this point? has it established, sort of, clarity around law in the cloud, the way you see it? >> well, john, i think this case is very important for establishing that kind of clarity. what it does is it assures customers around the world that if they're using services from a u.s. tech company, they will be protected by their own privacy laws, and those will be governed by their own governments. as to whether this is the last step, it's too early to say. what we hope
