Kubonakala ngathi ingxaki yerhafu ngurhulumente waseIreland ayizukuphela kwengxaki eziza kujongana neApple. Ukusuka eBloomberg sifumana ulwazi apho kuqinisekiswa khona ukuba umcebisi omtsha we-Intanethi Russia wathi uyafuna Nyanzela iApple neGoogle ukuba zihlawule ngaphezulu amaxabiso. Ukwenza oku, iJamani Klimenko inyanzelisa ukonyusa amaxabiso kwiinkampani zase-US ukunceda abanye abakhuphiswano baseRussia abanjengo Yandex okanye Mail.ru.
Ngokuka Bloomberg, U-Klimenko une ally ebaluleke kakhulu, u-Andrey Logovoi, omnye wee-arhente ze-KGB zangaphambili ezabekwa ityala yijaji yase-UK ngokubulala i-arhente yangaphambili u-Alexander Litvinenko, umgxeki ka-Putin, e-London ngonyaka ka-2006. I-18% yeVAT kwiintengo ezenziwe kwiVenkile yeApple nakwiVenkile yeTunes, nangona le rhafu iza kuhlawulwa ngabathengi hayi ziinkampani ngokwazo. Njengesiqhelo, umntu olahlekileyo ngumsebenzisi, ongabekek 'ityala ngayo nantoni na.
I-Russia ifuna ukunyusa i-VAT iye kwi-18% kwiinkampani ezinkulu zase-US
UKlimenko uchaza uGoogle njengo «isoyikiso esinokubakho kukhuseleko lwethu lwesizwel "ngokuba nakho ukugcina umkhondo"yonke into»Kwaye ungaphenduli kwizicelo zolwazi kwiiarhente zogcino-mthetho zaseRussia. Ukwathi ufuna urhulumente waseRussia atshintshe ekusebenziseni iWindows aye kwi Inkqubo yokusebenza evulekileyo esekwe kwi-Linux.
Ukuba kufuneka ndinyanisekile, ndiyayiqonda into ethethwa nguKlimenko malunga noGoogle. Ngapha koko, bendisebenzisa i-injini yokukhangela ngaphezulu konyaka DuckDuckGo Kuzo zonke izixhobo zam, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ndisebenzise i-Yahoo! kunye neBing. Ngokwam, andiyithandi uGoogle eneX-reyi yam kwaye ndenza inzuzo kuyo. Kodwa olo luluvo lwam kwaye ndiyaqonda ukuba inkululeko yokuzikhethela kufuneka ibe lilungelo, ngenxa yoko akufuneki bavote kusetyenziso lwenjini enkulu yokukhangela.
Kwelinye icala, ndingavuma ngokwanda kwe-VAT kwi-Apple neGoogle ngo-Russia ukuba i-VAT entsha ibifana kuzo zonke iinkampani ezisebenza kummandla wase-Russia, kubandakanya nelizwe. Ngayiphi na imeko, yonke into abayithethayo ayindimangalisi kwilizwe elibonakala ngathi lisemva kwamashumi aliqela ngandlela thile, njengokucinga ngasemva okubenze bavala ukuthengiswa kwe-iPhone kwilizwe labo, into eyenzekileyo kanye emva kokuba uTim Cook ekhusele unobangela wobufanasini.
