Umongameli wase-United States Barack Obama, ukhulume nomhleli we-'Texas Tribune 'u-Evan Smith eningizimu ngeNingizimu-ntshonalanga (SXSW), lapho ebhekise khona ngokungaqondile impikiswano Apple ne FBI. Yize u-Obama ethe akakwazi ukuphawula ngqo ngempi eqhubekayo yokubethela phakathi kwalaba bobabili, kodwa wakhuluma ngezinkinga ezibanzi zobumfihlo nokuphepha. U-Obama uxwayise ngokuthatha umbono we "absolutist" ku ukubethela futhi wathi izakhamizi zaseMelika kumele zivumelane kulinganisa ubumfihlo nokuphepha.
Wabuye waphawula i- ukuphepha esikhumulweni sezindiza njengesibonelo sokuyekethisa okwenziwe phakathi kokuphepha nobumfihlo. "Akumnandi ukudlula kwezokuphepha," esho, "kodwa siyabona ukuthi kubalulekile."
Umbuzo okufanele sizibuze wona ukuthi ngabe kwezobuchwepheshe kungenzeka yini ukwenza idivaysi noma uhlelo olungangeneki, lapho ukubethela kunamandla kakhulu ukuthi akukho khiye, akukho mnyango ongemuva, ukuthi ungambamba kanjani lo mthwebuli wezithombe zocansi wezingane? Sixazulula kanjani noma siphazamisa uhlelo lwamaphekula? Uma uhulumeni engakwazi ukungena, wonke umuntu uhambahamba ene-akhawunti yasebhange laseSwitzerland ephaketheni lakhe. Kufanele kube nokuvumelana okuthile kusidingo sokuthola lolo lwazi ngandlela thile. Abantu abasohlangothini lokubethela bathi noma ngabe isiphi isimo, singagcina sisetshenzisiwe kuwo wonke amadivayisi. Yilokho ubunjalo balezi zinhlelo. Lowo ngumbuzo wezobuchwepheshe. Angiyena unjiniyela wesoftware. Kuyiqiniso ngokuyisisekelo, kepha kungenziwa ihaba.
U-Obama uthe yize efuna ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi uhulumeni akakwazi (noma ngabe ufuna) ukungena kuma-iPhones emhlabeni jikelele ngaphandle kokubheka, kukhona "imikhawulo esiyibeka" qiniseka ukuthi sihlala emphakathini ophephile futhi ophucukile. Ukhuthaze ukuthola ukulingana phakathi ukubethela nobumfihlo, kanye nesidingo sokuthi uhulumeni aphenye ubugebengu.
Isiphetho sami ukuthi okwamanje awukwazi ukuba nombono ophelele kulokhu. Ngakho-ke uma impikiswano yakho ingumbhalo wokubethela onamandla akunandaba, ayithinti uhlobo lwebhalansi ebesiyiphile, lapho sibheka khona amafoni ethu ngaphezu kwanoma iliphi elinye inani. Leyo ngeke ibe yimpendulo eyiyo.
Barack Obama weza ukuzobuza i- onjiniyela be-software y izinkampani zobuchwepheshe siza uhulumeni ukuxazulula inkinga, futhi wathi ufuna isixazululo ngokubethela, ngaphambi kokuthi sidingeke kakhulu. Uxwayise umphakathi wezobuchwepheshe ukuthi uthathe isikhundla sokuthi "Hhayi ukusimama emphakathini wonke"njengoba kungaholela ekuqineni okugcina kuholele emthethweni, futhi lokhu kungashintsha isimo sezepolitiki ngemuva kokuthile okwenziwe ngamateyipu
Apple Ubuye futhi wakhetha kulo mbuzo, lapho athi kufanele uxazululwe ku I-US Congress. esikhundleni se izinkantolo. Ukuphawula kukaMongameli uBarack Obama kuza ngesikhathi i-Apple ibhekene ubuso nobuso nohulumeni wase-United States empini yomphakathi ngalokho obekuzodingeka ukuthi i-Apple izokwenza siza i-FBI ukuvula i-iPhone, ungayifunda kulokhu isixhumanisi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucelwe ukuthi uvule le iPhone ngokwakha isoftware entsha yokundlula imikhawulo yephasiwedi kudivayisi.
U-Apple ukholelwa ukuthi ukuhambisana nesidingo esinjalo kungabeka isibonelo i-peligroso okungaholela ekwehleni okujwayelekile kokubethela kuma-Smartphones nakwamanye amadivayisi kagesi. I- UMnyango Wezobulungiswa wase-US ukuchithile ukukhathazeka kwe-Apple, ebiza ukwesaba kwayo "ukweqa ngokweqile" futhi ephikelela ngokuthi isicelo esinjalo ngeke siholele ku "ukhiye oyinhloko".
