Ingxelo ipapashwe ngoLwesibini yi-US House of Representatives judicial antitrust subcommittee, enamaphepha angama-450, ibandakanya ubungqina malunga nendlela abahloli be-antitrust base-US abasilela ngayo "ngexesha eliphambili" kwaye abazange bathintele izenzo zezi nkampani. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, badibanisa amandla abo, kwaye ngenxa yesi sizathu ngoku Kucelwa ukuba imithetho iqiniswe.
Ngokucacileyo, iNkongolo yase-US iyayigxeka iApple kunye nezinye iinkampani ezintathu ezinkulu (iAmazon, iGoogle kunye neFacebook) bazibophelele kwaye bazibophelele ngokuzimeleyo. Uye wachaza ngokuphandle ukuba: “Ezi nkampani zinamandla amakhulu,” “ziyalonakalisa ukhuphiswano yaye zijongela phantsi ukuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha,” “ziye zenza izinto eziyingozi,” okanye “zibeke imiqobo ekungeneni kwezinye iinkampani kumacandelo azo.”
Ingxelo ebangelwayo, ebandakanya ukubhekisela kudliwano-ndlebe olungaphezulu kwe-300 kunye namalungu amashishini ahlukeneyo kunye nabafundisi kunye namaxwebhu ezigidi ze-1,3, iquka ubungqina malunga nendlela i-US antitrust watchdogs ayiphumelelanga ngayo "kwimizuzu ebalulekileyo." Bafake isandla ekungaphepheni izenzo zezi nkampani eziye zagqiba ekubeni zidibanise amandla azo.
Bacebisa ukuba bathathe amanyathelo kunye nokuqinisa umthetho ukuze balawule "amandla abo alawulayo": "Idemokhrasi yethu isesichengeni". Ngamazwi anzima kakhulu. Ngaloo ndlela, kufuneka bathathwe kwaye bahlalutywe ngabaphathi bee-CEO ezahlukeneyo zenkampani nganye.
UTim Cook, wathi kudliwano-ndlebe, kungekudala, abangazange baqhelisele ukuzimela geqe. Yaye kwihlabathi elinokhuphiswano njengelakho, kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukutyholwa ngolu qheliselo. Ukwakhankanye ukuba yinto eqhelekileyo kwaye wavuma ukuba iApple kufuneka iphandwe kwaye iphelele. Sicinga ukuba ngoku akasayi kuvuma.
Idemokhrasi uDavid Cicilline, USihlalo weKomitana uthe:
Uphando lwethu lushiya ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo. Kukho imfuneko ecacileyo kunye necinezelayo yeCongress kunye nee-arhente ezichasene ne-antitrust ukuthatha inyathelo lokubuyisela ukhuphiswano. Kufuneka siphucule iinguqulelo ezintsha kwaye sikhusele idemokhrasi yethu. Ingxelo ichaza umkhombandlela wokuphumeza loo njongo.
Ingxelo ebanzi ithetha ngolawulo lwemonopoly kwabane abakhulu kwaye idwelisa into eyenziwe yinkampani nganye ngokuxhasa ukulawulwa kwemonopoly.
Ingxelo yekomishoni ibalula ukuba nganye kwezi zine zamazwe ngamazwe Baye benza izenzo ezijolise ekulawuleni imarike. Ngokuphathelele i-Facebook, umzekelo, ingxelo ithi "inokuzimela kulawulo lweintanethi zentlalo." "Ikhethe ukubangabandakanyi abanye abantu esikhuphisana nabo ekusebenziseni iqonga layo ukuzikhusela kuxinzelelo lokhuphiswano." Ngokumalunga ne-Amazon, igxininisa ukuba "isikhundla esiphezulu" sikhokelela ekukhetheni, ngokusekelwe kwizinto ezinomdla, apho abathengisi baphumelele kwiqonga layo kwaye ngabaphi ababona ukuthengisa kwabo kuncitshisiwe. Ngokuphathelele uGoogle, bakhankanya ukuba ixhomekeke kwidatha esuka kwi-injini yokukhangela ukuya kwiincasa zabasebenzisi kunye neemfuno malunga nezikhangeli, ngaphambi kokusungula eyakhe (Chrome).
Malunga ne-Apple, sithetha ngesabelo semarike. Iphumelele ukuba, kunye nenkqubo evaliweyo, "inika amandla okwenza njengomlawuli phezu kokusasazwa kwesoftware yeselula." "Ngoko, inesikhundla esiphezulu kwimarike yevenkile yeselula kwaye inegunya elilodwa phezu kokusasazwa kwezicelo zesoftware kwizixhobo ze-iOS."
Ukubethelwa kanzima kumabango ka-Apple. Isikhonkwane sokubambelela kuzo zonke ezo nkampani zineengxabano kunye nenkampani yaseMelika ngenxa yesi sizathu. Iimidlalo ze-Epic, iTelegram, i-Facebook ... kunye noluhlu olude lwabanye banokusebenzisa le ngxelo kwiimangalo zabo ezichasene ne-Apple. Le ngxelo ayibopheleli kubagwebi. Nangona kunokwenzeka ukuba iya kuphawula indlela yabo yexesha elizayo kunye Okwangoku inokuthi inike ibhalansi kwicala elichasene neApple kwimeko yamathandabuzo. Kuya kufuneka sihoye ukuze sibone ukuba iijaji zithatha isigqibo ngoku. Uvavanyo lokuqala luya kuba kunye neMidlalo ye-Epic. Ukuba i-Apple ilahlekile, kuya kufuneka ilungiselele i-barrage yamatyala azakuna phezu kwayo.
