I-Backpage Backlash: UNicholas Kristof kwi-'Egregious capitalism 'kwiLizwi leLali

Abafundi abaqhelekileyo banokucinga ukuba yintshatsheli ye-alt-veki yabafana abancinci baseNew York kwaye Ixesha ’Ngaphakathi endlwini uncedo lwabantu lwaluya kubotshelelwa yingcamango. Kodwa ngenxa yamanqaku amabini uMnu Kristof wabhala kulo nyaka malunga Ilizwi Udade inkampani iBackpage.com, uye waba ngumxholo wento ayibiza ngokuba kukuhlaselwa okungathandekiyo okupapashwe kwi Ilizwi leLali iwebhusayithi .

Kwiperi ye Iikholamu , Mnu. Kristof ugxeke indawo ekwi-intanethi egciniweyo ngokugcina icandelo leenkonzo zabantu abadala, elifana ne-Craigslist ngaphambili kwayo-isebenza njenge-agora ebonakalayo yoonongogo kunye nabaphetheyo. Inkqubo ye- isiqwenga samva nje , epapashwe ngo-Matshi 17, ibandakanya i-akhawunti yomntu wokuqala evela ku-Alissa, owathengiswa ngesondo kwi-Backpage.com ukuqala eneminyaka eyi-16.

UNicholas D. Kristof wayephosisile malunga neyona nyani yenyani ngeCawa yakhe, nge-18 kaMatshi, kwikholamu INew York Times , Ilizwi leLali wabhala emva kweentsuku ezine. Ngokwengxelo yenkundla ka-Alissa, wayeneminyaka eli-16 ngo-2003. I-Backpage.com yayingekho naphi eMelika ngo-2003.

Ngaba uKristof wayelandela nayiphi na INew York Times ‘Imigangatho yobuntatheli, yaqhubeka, ngewayekwazile oku.

Umnumzana Kristof uxelele iRekhodi ukuba uyilandele imigangatho yeGrey Lady: U-Alissa wagqiba iminyaka eli-16 kwiintsuku zokugqibela zika-2003 kwaye wahlala eyi-16 kuyo yonke indawo ngo-2004, xa, uMnu. izixeko, kuquka ezimbini — iMiami neFt. ILauderdale-apho uAlissa wathi wathengiswa kwi-Backpage.com ngokucacileyo.

Umnumzana Kristof uthe wayothukile yindlela elahlekisa ngayo Ilizwi kodwa emva kokubona iphepha lilandela abanye abagxeki be-Backpage.com abanjengo-Amber Lyon we-CNN kunye nomzabalazo wodumo u-Ashton Kutcher, akazange amangaliswe yimpendulo.

Kungenxa yoko le nto u-Alissa wayengafuni ukuba kusetyenziswe igama lakhe lokwenyani, utshilo uMnu Kristof. Wayesoyika Inkqubo ye- Ilizwi leLali .

Ixesha elingaphezulu konyaka, Ilizwi leLali Usebenzise indawo yokuhlela ukumilisela ubunyani obuthathekileyo kumaqela nakubantu abazama ukunika ingxelo ngokurhweba ngabantu ngokuthengisa ngesondo eU.S. Inqaku elinye elibizwa ngokuba luphando oluveliswe yiNethiwekhi yezeNkxaso yaBasetyhini isayensi engafunekiyo ; omnye uthoba isidima sombutho ongenzi nzuzo kaMnu Kutcher, iReal Men Musa Ukuthenga Amantombazana, kunye isihloko Amadoda okwenyani afumana iinyani zawo ngokuchanekileyo. Amabali ahlala eprintwa kumaqweqwe awo onke amaphepha ali-13 kwindibano yelizwi yeLali yeLizwi.

Inqaku malunga noMnu. Kristof alibhalwanga kodwa kwaxelwa, ubuncinci, ngu Ilizwi umhleli oyintloko UTony ortega . Umnumzana u-Ortega khange abuye kwisicelo seRekhodi sokunika ingxelo.

Kwangelo xesha, igqwetha likarhulumente ngokubanzi, amalungu abefundisi kunye nabazali bavakalise inkcaso yabo kwi-Backpage.com ngeeleta eziya kwinkampani, iintengiso kwiphepha elipheleleyo INew York Times kunye nezikhalazo ezikwi-Intanethi- kuquka enye ekhokelwa ngu UJohn Buffalo Mailer , nyana ka Ilizwi umququzeleli uNorman. Emva kokuba ikholamu yokuqala kaMnu Kristof ivele kwi Amaxesha , Iforum yeFilimu yatsala intengiso yayo. NgoLwesihlanu, i-19 U.S. Senators, kubandakanya UMarco Rubio kwaye URichard Blumenthal , wabhalela Imithombo yeendaba yelizwi Ukufuna ukuba bavale icandelo leenkonzo zabantu abadala ze-Backpage.com.

Nangona ebexela ukurhweba ngabantu ngokuthengisa ngesondo iminyaka, nkqu noMnumzana Kristof wayemathidala ukuthatha ujingi Ilizwi , hayi ngenxa yokuba ethanda amaphepha amaphepha anika ingxelo. (Wabiza amabali kwinkonzo yoluntu.)

Lixesha elinzima ngenene kumaphephandaba azo zonke iintlobo, utshilo. Le yi Ilizwi Imodeli yeshishini kwaye ndiyakucaphukela ukuyijongela phantsi. Kodwa kuye nawuphina umntu othanda ubuntatheli: Ungayixhasa njani le mali ngokuthengisa ngokuthengisa ngesondo?

Umbuzo ngulo, ngaba banokufikelela? I-Backpage.com ixabisa i-22 yeedola zonyaka rhoqo ngonyaka kwintengiso yobuhenyu, ngokutsho kwabahlalutyi beendaba kwi-AIM. Ubuyile.com ixelwe iiakhawunti zesixhenxe sengeniso yeVVM iyonke.

Kuyaphambana ukuba elinye iphepha-ndaba ebelimele ukumela inyani kunye nokunyaniseka kufuneka libandakanyeke kuhlobo olumangalisayo lobungxowankulu ekungekho nkampani ye-Fortune 500 eya kubandakanyeka kuyo, utshilo uMnu Kristof. Akukho nkampani yeFortune 500 eya kuqhuba ezi ntengiso. Ke, ngoku ufumana iphepha lokubala elinenkxalabo yobungxowankulu abenza kanye loo nto.

I-VVM ithi ngenxa yokuba i-Backpage.com ihluza izithuba kwaye iyasebenzisana nabasemagunyeni, ukurhweba ngabantu nge-Intanethi kukhuselekile kunokuba iisayithi zivaliwe kwaye ukurhweba ngabantu ngokungekho mthethweni kubuyiselwe esitratweni. Ukuhenyuza kuya kuhlala kusenzeka, ukucinga kuya, kwaye ke kufanele ukuba kwenzeke kwindawo apho kunokujongwa khona.

Ndicinga ukuba yingxoxo elungileyo yokuba nayo kwaye ndicinga ukuba kulungile, utshilo uMnu. Andonwabanga ngumbono wokuba inkampani ikhusele umdla wayo wezorhwebo ngokuthumela oonondaba bayo bayokumba ukungcola kubagxeki benkampani, yile nto ibonakala ngathi, ekuhambeni kwexesha, Ilizwi wenze.

Ndikhulile. Ndiyisitya ngaphandle. Abantu bangandigxeka, wongeza, kodwa u-Alissa ukwimeko enzima.
