there has to be. we have seen some he delays. we are behind so much of the developed world. our numbers continue to increase as others fall. it needs to be government play here if retailers do not step up. >> one thing that discourages anyone from doing anything is even though there is fraud doesn't count forelock -- for luck. heart of the the brand. you're talking about service to the brand. how do you change the conversation? >> u.s. chief strategy officer. coming up on surveillance, the number for you, 150 $6 billion, that is how much the internet committees made last year mining the same data that the nsa has gathered. >> our twitter question of the day, what does it take for a movie to get you off your couch?

>> part of the answers they do not know the implications of this. the second part is they consented to it. >> even though no one read the disclosures? kwok's it is a combination -- >> it is a, nation of ignorance and consent. at least they went through the formality of taking the box. the government it is a of ignorance and coercion. >> it is also big brother. a company is not as likely to come to your company and arrest you. the company does not quite have the resources the government has when it wants to go up against you in a court of law. >> the government has a monopoly on the use of force and therefore has a higher indifference standard. in theonomy has exploded last 20 years. it has grown so fast, driven by the investment banks. the only way they can effectively monetize the data is selling the data about their users. looks how much different from what they gather from what the government gathers -- how much more does the government know about you? >> it depends on if the government is investigating you or not. as a practical matter, does not know anything about you. if you are using any of these internet-based services, the services know everything you put on there. if anything they can correlate with any other service which is voluntarily correlating with the other data. >> maybe a guy from google could show up at your door. do the computers know this? are there actual files that say richard falcon wrath does ask? --richard falcon wrath falkenrath. >> that practice predates the economy goes to the credit card economy. >> we know the tech companies collect all this personal data on us. then they figure out how to sell us on things. why aren't people more worried about the extent to which this data is being used against us? >> i think they think of the reality. i have a fundamental distrust of the government. whether it is because of a monopoly or whether because we think everything from our voting record start taxing records are going to be linked, we think the government is more efficient at connecting these dots when the drones from amazon are more likely to arrive at our door. >> when the corporate eta it -- corporate eta horrid it's too creepy, that is when people will fight back. etdata.rporate >> they're still hugely successful. >> we also want to take a look at how the nsa surveillance has hurt the prospects of a couple of u.s. companies and benefited some european companies. .e will continue a four-time academy award winner, the man who pioneered special effects on the hobbit, will be joining us later. >> i am scarlet fu with michael mckee and matt miller. tom keene is offer the week. let the company news from the files of bloomberg west. an activist investor plans to push for a bigger break up from the owner of golf garden -- of all of garden and red lobster. -- from all of garden and red lobster. shareholders of time warner cable could give the incoming field markets. they will resist a takeover offer. dutch charter is preparing a bid that could come next year. generated ahas total return of 62% since 2009. a bitoining verizon and in a public transparency report. telecom companies have cooperated with u.s. government surveillance programs. major internet companies like google have is closed government request for data. that is today's company news. staying with that, we are going to talk about surveillance. a telephonic companies have warned that surveillance -- telecom companies have warned that surveillance has been costing the country. richard falcon wrath, former fale house -- richard kenwrath. these european companies are getting a hit from the u.s. government. >> the boeing issue is a more traditional industrial competition. this is very complicated and involves multiple different factors. there is an economic nationalism component where the european companies are trying to promote their national champions. here there is also a national security argument. privacy dimension, which the european union has a different privacy framework in the u.s.. -- framework that the u.s. government in europe wants to know something about you. say wey go to google and have a laurent here in germany, you have to provide data on us -- have a warrant here in germany, you have to provide data on us? >> they do that all the time. the companies themselves have some discretion so there are certain countries where there is not this rule of law. they may occasionally -- they may not comply. egypt, for instance, in the middle of the turmoil of the arab spring, it was reported twitter and facebook did not the egyptianome of security services requests for data about their subscribers. in general, the answer is yes. it just an excuse to get back to european companies if anyone who has been requested to hand over the data would not do so? >> i think it is more than just an excuse. i think it is a very serious issue. this is where the snowden revelations become important. they make clear how extensive the powers of the u.s. government is to a tap into the systems. these are u.s. based and the u.s. chartered companies that historically have a close tie with the u.s. government. we found out more about that from snowden. the u.s. has a leg up on everybody else in their ability to get some information and make use of it, use it in ways that are beyond particularized suspicion leading to a particular warrant and request for information. >> here is a question i have, the bottom line of all of this, everybody is concerned what happens with the government and how much data they are collecting on us. how much control does the president of the united states, haveivilian authority, over these? could we see a dr. strangelove world that people worry about? >> i don't worry about that. i think it could be another branch of government or independent act. we have seen is that some of the techniques, in fact, a lot of the techniques got out of hand. they are doing things that people want revealed. -- likethe native data the metadata. since the 50s, black and white movies, i have always assumed our country's intelligence agencies could go to the phone companies and credit card companies and get all the data they want. that is what they do. if they can't do that they are not doing a very good job. >> there is a difference between the things that are done constantly and routinely versus the things we have to do out of suspicion. i don't think metadata is the biggest problem. i think the biggest one is rsa and encryption standards. the story we have seen emerging over the last week is the nsa is paying when the leading to that security companies, $10 million to undermine their own subscription protocol. that is a big problem. >> rsa is a unit of the enc. for computing. -- fork into getting. >> -- thank you for contributing. 2.9 for your 10-year note. bloomberg surveillance on bloomberg television, streaming on your tablet, phone, and bloomberg.com. i'm here with michael mckee and matt miller. tom keene is offer the week. our guest host is thomas ken summgensimer. >> the hobbit, it was the fifth movie i have seen in this series. -- in the full franchise. the movie that first brought visual effects into mainstream culture, the visually remastered , the man behind those effects went on to work on another sci-fi blockbuster, lord of the rings, which grew two point nine $2 billion worldwide. grew $2.92 billion worldwide. it got back-to-back academy awards. if we take a look at the business behind visual effects. awards. had for academy >> four. havewanted to make sure i my facts. >> how often do we get to say that?

when you had to say how much we -- going to say -- how much it always seems like there is an overrun. >> what we create is interesting because every shot we do, 2000 of them, is unique. there are similarities but everything is a tough to make peace. it is tricky to budget. egg inhis chicken and terms of how you come up with what you are going to do? does the director say what you he -- what he wants or do you say what you want to do? >> it is always story driven. thatst try to find ideas will feed the next development of the story. with the hobbit we were very fortunate. we know what the story is. on a film like that hits us with -- james cameron sent us the script and we said we are going to need a year to figure this out. >> i can bring an actor back into the studio if i start editing the movie and i don't like a scene. just reprogramy everything right away. >> sure he can. it happens a lot. we have to be fox will. it is a very creative process. if the director has a new idea and wants to change something, change and ending, we can adapt. >> hollywood is going into survival mode. is this a safer investment?
