google servers yet they don't even know this is going on google dot ok so i mean that's the point they can tap lines anywhere in the world and when they do that they can get it between the servers of any any company. from my perspective i think there's been massive collusion between the big corporations and big government with. the military security complex they have agreements between them where they will pay money for data if they produce data for n.s.a. or they will also pay for access and like for example the the room in the eighteen t. facility in san francisco that has the n.s.a. . it's the n.s.a. room that has the tappan on an hourly fee data and it's really eighteen t. that has them maintain that room facebook is evil in my view have been saying as he is it's the spies wet dream it does real for up all information and it's just there on a plate for the spies to access and we know they do put through back doors and things and yet that's a defamation use take them weeks or months together we're going into vigil they extend what google of information to google has is nothing near what n.s.a. does for example they do not have they have access to the emails if they're using g. mail for example but not all the other service providers and they don't so they don't have that data to do a composite view of what people are doing nor do they have access to all the fiber optic lines around the world nor do they see the banking transactions or the financial transactions or all the phone calls they don't see that sort of vast amount of information that google does not have. so that's something that is leading to increasing concentrations of power and you get some smart people these are companies and then these cracks to the national security sector as contractors. so the creative vibrancy. market capitalism is what i'm concerned about. many of the companies concerned reacted immediately to the snowden revelations they proclaim and advertise seemingly tap proof mobile phones and texting services followed by public announcements

google when you're doing a google search so i think the maus were always wrong. i like the uptick in daily active users, i like that. i don't disagree with dan, he was on a roll there, that was tremendous i'm still an owner of twitter, but it's disturbing how they are -- in your intro, they are dead last when you look at this. that's not the way to gauge them. >> but the way they're moving towards as opposed to just daily active users, they're focusing specifically on monetizable daily active users i was confused when the twitter earnings came across and this was being reported i said why monetizable, and i didn't know this if you use tweet deck, you're not going to see the ads so they're really -- >> they're spoon feeding it to advertisers. this is what you can go to the bank on. >> this is good. >> so they're growing 9% and down a little bit from the numbers we've been getting, which have been low double digits revenues top line grew 24% people think these are bad numbers. these numbers are fine to think and even compare twitter and facebook anywhere near in terms of the size and scale of these platforms, they're totally different. >> sales grew 25% this year. they're expecting 13% this year. that dau number is smaller than snap's >> on percentage terms or absolute terms >> in absolute terms. >> that doesn't mean anything to me. >> well, it does mean something to advertisers when they're looking for an engaged audience. we're talking about why the stock is down 10%. it's down 10% -- >> we knew yesterday that snap's audience was bigger. the bottom line is how are they relative to themselves. >> and twitter was 10% higher. >> obviously, dan. and they also were talking about a metric change and that really is what's disturbing people. the bigger question is why are social media companies and tech companies doing this twitter thinks they're delivering a more relevant appropriate metric to advertisers who i think have to be feeling pretty good about advertising on twitter. >> i'm in agreement with you i don't think that's why the stock is down. i think it's operating expenses have gone up. >> such anger considering how much you agree actually. no matter what you guys say, you're going to argue about it. >> plus we're going to get the split screen. >> ad engagement is up 33%, margins 43.5%. i thought twitter made a huge mistake. google doesn't talk about monthly average users. i never thought twitter should as well. i think it was painful but they'll reap the rewards having done that. i think the reason the stock is down as much as it is because first quarter guidance wasn't great and the stock has banged up against $35.50 three times the last 12 months i think you buy it again. >> this is a company that has $6 billion in cash, three net of debt i think they should be making small tuck-in acquisitions and not spending the whole nut on something big. those are the incremental things that you can see revenue growth accelerate again. >> for more on twitter head over to cnbc.com. i'm melissa lee, you're watching "fast money. here's what else is coming up on "fast. >>> big bank, small bank, i like to make money. >> yeah, so do we. one technician will tell you exact exactly which names to buy in the financial sector to make sure you're bringing home the big bucks. plus -- it's been a wild ride for general motors this year

google has google sheets. microsoft has its enterprise software. what attracted you to this? >> i think shishir is doing a good job describing the product, but when you really try the product, you get to start thinking about the use cases. the document itself, it has changed. it is more of an app. it endssinesses today, up leveling the playing field in many ways. rather than having complex package software, you can have all of the workflows on there. ,ne of the questions i asked how many companies are fully running on coda? it is amazing how many of them are moving from building documents in this software, this brand-new coda. emily: what is the competition? microsoft word? googleshir: it is a wide set. people use coda in simple use cases, taking notes in meetings, all the way up to things you would normally use database for. organizing, maybe inventory or customers, all the way up to building real applications where you could build systems that can run whole businesses. shishir: you are the head of product at youtube. emily: what did you bring from there to here? shishir: i had a great time at youtube. two big things. one is the way we work. we ran youtube on documents and spreadsheets. how we use those tools inspired coda.re metaphors in the other one is how the ecosystem worked. online video would do to cable what cable did to broadcast. we would go from three channels to 300 channels to 3 million channels. all of a sudden it will qualify to build high-quality video. similarly what we think is happening in software is there is a set of makers that people that are problem solvers, toolmakers that can take the problems they see in front of them and build their

google? google, amazon and besides selling hardware and software, they want to generate a complete database of users's habits. if amazon has a better understanding of how users use their devices in their home whether that is a connected , a a lock speaker, toy know how to better sell their users, they know when and which users are using them, so it is helpful from that standpoint and similar reasoning for googlet such an interesting time because we know the devices can passively gather information about us, but they are willing to do something with sell it to cases, third-party users without our knowledge. our laws up to date? what amazon and google are saying in this case, they are not actually selling that data. they are using that data for their own purposes to improve the products to be up to sell users on that product, but they are not actually distributing that data externally and we have all of these criticisms for facebook of doing that and other players doing that, google and some respects on the advertising side, but those two privacy concerns are not connected. shery: so what our device makers doing about this? mark: so some of them are not happy. one of the executives from logitech, one of the big accessory makers for the computer market and phones, they the twong to work with major home players to lessen how much data they have, because even though they are to consistent device m

google difference clearly in the book you outline both as having crossed the line let's say in your view when did you realize that facebook had done that and had google started doing that long before >> google has been doing what google has been doing for a long time the harm has been not apparent at google until recently facebook, my recollection was january of 2016 related to the democratic primary, then i saw a thing about black lives matter in march, brexit then in the uk, i then thought maybe facebook gives inflammatory messages advantage over neutral ones. then you have housing and urban development talk about facebook tools, allowing people in real estate to violate fair housing act with discrimination. and that is when i reached out to mark and sheryl saying something is wrong with the algorithms that's letting bad actors harm innocent people. i assumed facebook was the victim i am reaching out to people i thought were my friends saying hey, there's a real problem here for whatever reason over the three months i spent talking with them privately they chose not to prioritize the issue. >> and google had been doing something similar before >> not in the electoral context. what google

google servers yet they don't even know this is going on google dot ok so i mean that's the point they can tap lines anywhere in the world and when they do that they can get it between the servers of any but any company. from my perspective i think there's been massive collusion between the big corporations and big government with the big fight the military security complex they have agreements between them where they will pay money for data if they produce data for n.s.a. or they will also pay for access and like for example the the room in the eighteen t. facility in san francisco that has the n.s.a. . it's the n.s.a. room that has the tappan on an hourly fee data and it's really eighteen t. that has them maintain that room facebook is evil in my view have been saying as he is it's the spies wet dream it does real for up all information and it's just there on a plate for the spies to access and we know they do you through back doors and things and yet that's a defamation has taken weeks or months together we're going into vigil they extend what google of information to google has is nothing near what n.s.a. does for example they do not have they have access to the emails if they're using g. mail for example but not all the other service providers and they don't so they don't have that data to do a composite view of what people are doing nor do they have access to all the fiber optic lines around the world nor do they see the banking transactions or the financial transactions or all the phone calls they don't see that sort of vast amount of information that google does not have. so that's something that is leading to increasing concentrations of power and you get some straw people these are companies and then these contracts to the national security sector as contractors. so the creative vibrancy. market capitalism is what i'm concerned about. many of the companies concerned reacted immediately to the snowden revelations they proclaim and advertise seemingly tap proof mobile phones and texting services followed by public announcemen

google will report fantastic earnings they have 60,000 miles of undersee cables i'm surprised that they have not had monopoly talks about google like about facebook and amazon because they're ones that have a monopoly here but all about ad revenue and search an eating into profits a little bit and interesting to see what they say about that. smg scandal, though, didn't touch facebook bottom line. will it touch your google>> no i think going forward it could be something to focus on. john did mention it to go back to google i think for investors it must be frustrating they don't break out other categories so we don't know specifically how much ho youtube is making, or wamo interesting to see comments on that. >> the call will handle that one. >> okay let's move on i have to moves on, sorry about that. but you took first three minutes of this segment you killed me. china more high level talks scheduled this month at a possible meeting between trump and president xi jinping. if there is an announcement of that meeting going back to this jeff. here's your chance to redeem yourself if there's that meeting, i say that is very positive. >> it is crucial but -- [laughter] i'm going to be -- >> it's crucial and i think one of great thingses president trump has done is he's taking a stand against our 30-year theft of intellectual property which is -- which had is horrendous. but he also has to -- he has to take
