Kwiinyanga ezimbini emva kokuba iCongress yoyise ii-CEO zeAmazon, iApple, iFacebook kunye nomzali kaGoogle iAlfabhethi, abameli beNdlu yeDemokhrasi ngoku banesicwangciso sokuchitha ezi nkampani zeBig Tech.
NgoLwesibini, ikomitana encinci ye-antitrust ikhuphe ifom Iphepha le-450 Ingxelo njengenxalenye yophando lonyaka ukugqiba ukuba kukho ubungqina obubalulekileyo bokubonisa ukuba amandla eentengiso eAmazon, iApple, iFacebook kunye noGoogle kunciphise ukhetho lwabathengi kwaye bathintela ukhuphiswano.
Ezi femu zinamandla amakhulu, kwaye loo mandla kufuneka agqitywe ngaphakathi kwaye axhomekeke kulawulo olufanelekileyo kunye nokunyanzeliswa, yatsho ingxelo. Uqoqosho lwentando yesininzi lusemngciphekweni.
Ukulungisa loo nto, ingxelo icebisa ukuba iCongress ithathele ingqalelo ukuphinda-phinda iinjongo zokuqala kunye neenjongo ezibanzi zemithetho yokunqongophala kwezinto, ngokuchaza ukuba ziyilelwe ukukhusela hayi abathengi kuphela, kodwa nabasebenzi, oosomashishini, amashishini azimeleyo, iimarike ezivulekileyo, uqoqosho olunobulungisa kunye iinjongo zedemokhrasi.
Ukunceda ukukhokela iCongress kulolo sukelo, ingxelo, ebhalwe ziiDemokhrasi kwiphaneli ye-antitrust, ibandakanya inani lezindululo zokunciphisa umda kwiinkampani ze-Big Tech 'ukufunxa abantu okhuphisana nabo abancinci nokwandisa kwimigca emininzi yeshishini.
Umzekelo, abaDemokhrasi bacebise ukwehlisa umthwalo wobungqina kwiSebe lezoBulungisa kunye neKhomishini yoRhwebo yeFederal kumatyala okudibanisa kunye nokufumana ukuze kube nzima kwiinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwephesha ukuthenga iinkampani ezincinci-abathi, kwiimeko ezininzi, bakhuphisane. Oku kuya kunceda ukumisa okanye ubuncinci ekuthengeni ukuthengwa kweentshaba kunye nokuqala, njengoko ingxelo isitsho.
Ingxelo ingena kwi-FCC kaninzi-kaninzi, iqaphela ukuba akukho nto ingako iyenzileyo-phantsi kwabo bobabini uMongameli u-Obama kunye no-Trump-ukunqanda ukuthengwa kwezinto ezijike ezi nkampani zinkulu zangamadlozi.
Zombini ezi arhente zijolise kwiinzame zabo zokunyanzeliswa kwabadlali abancinci-kubandakanya ootitshala bokukhangela i-ice kunye ne-organist-bephakamisa imibuzo malunga nezinto zabo zokunyanzeliswa, iyaphawula.
Olu xwebhu lukwajonga ukuphola kwintetho ebangelwe ngamandla amakhulu aqokelelwe ziinkampani ezinkulu ezine. Oko kubandakanya ukwanda koloyiko phakathi kwabathathi-nxaxheba beemarike abaxhomekeke kumaqonga aphezulu, uninzi lwabo lubonakalise ukungakhululeki ukuba impumelelo yeshishini labo kunye nokuphila kwabo kwezoqoqosho kuxhomekeke kwinto abayibona njengamaqonga 'amandla angafumanekiyo nangenakuphikiswa.
Usihlalo wekomitana, u-Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI), kudala eyinkokeli kumzamo wokulawula iinkampani zobuchwephesha. Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, wayilumkisa loo nto Ukuba asiyilungisi le nto, asizukuphinda sibe nedemokhrasi. Unabalingani beRiphabhlikhi-i-GOP ithande ukuhlasela i-Facebook, ngaphandle kwemithetho yenkampani elawula intetho-kodwa ayinguye wonke umntu kwikomiti ebhodini.
Bona kwakho: Iapile, iAmazon, kunye neFacebook yeNyanga eziMbi eziye zanda kakhulu, ngokusemthethweni nangasesidlangalaleni
Ingxelo inika umbono otyhafisayo ngendlela iApple, iAmazon, uGoogle noFacebook abawasebenzise ngayo amandla abo ukulawula indlela esilibona kwaye sililiqonda ngayo ilizwe, I-Republican Congressman uKen Buck, ilungu lekomitana ye-antitrust, wabhala kwimpendulo eyilwayo yokuqala eyabikwa ngu Reuters kwaye Ezopolitiko .
U-Buck uthe ngelixa evuma ukuba ii-arhente zokunyanzeliswa kokungabikho kwemvume zifuna izixhobo ezongezelelweyo kunye nezixhobo zokubonelela ngendlela efanelekileyo yokufumana iinkampani ezinkulu zeTech Tech, uchasene nezindululo ezininzi ezibekwe ngabenzi bomthetho beDemokhrasi, kubandakanya nelinye elifuna iinkampani zobuchwephesha ukuba zichaze enye Umgca weshishini. Zonke iinkampani ezine ezichazwe apha ngasentla zisebenza ngeendlela ezininzi zeshishini kwiimveliso nakwiinkonzo.
U-Buck naye akavumelani ne-antitrust subcommittee uSihlalo u-Cicilline's isindululo sokwazisa umthetho wokunyanzela ukwaphuka kwezakhiwo zamaqonga aphambili kwi-Intanethi njenge Amazon.
Esi sicelo sisicelo esincinci esifihliweyo sokuqhekeza iifemu zeBig Tech. Asivumelani nendlela yesininzi, uBuck wabhala.
Kwangoko kulo nyaka, uMongameli uDonald Trump waqala uhlaselo kuTwitter nakuFacebook, awayewutyhola ngokuba nomkhethe kuye, ngomyalelo olawulayo oko kungakhokelela ekuphelisweni kokhuseleko lwabo olusemthethweni phantsi kweFCC. Kwinyanga ephelileyo, yena Waqala ukukhangela indawo yelungu lekhomishini nomntu othembekileyo oza kuvota ngenxa yokophula umthetho kwakhe kwiinkampani zemidiya yoluntu.
Izitokhwe zeAmazon kunye neApple bezisezantsi ngepesenti ezi-2 ngoLwesithathu. Izabelo ze-Facebook kunye neAlfabhethi zehle phakathi kwe-0.5 kunye ne-1 yepesenti. Akukho nanye kwiinkampani ezine ephendulileyo kule ngxelo.
Akucaci ukuba kwaye nini na xa iRiphabhlikhi ikwi-subcommittee ye-antitrust iyakusayina kwizindululo ezizeleyo zedemokhrasi. Umntu oqhelene nengxoxo uxelele iPolitico ukuba imemo kaBuck ingabandakanywa kwingxelo yokugqibela.
