Ngolwesihlanu wokugqibela, Tim Cook kwaye abameli abaliqela beenkampani zeSilicon Valley badibana namagosa avela kwi Casa Blanca ukuthetha ngokusetyenziswa kwetekhnoloji kunye namajelo eendaba ekulweni ubugrogrisi. Ulwazi malunga nale ntlanganiso lukhutshiwe namhlanje kwaye, into engothusi mntu, uTim Cook uqinisekisile isikhundla sakhe sokungazenzi iingcango zangasemva kwisoftware ukuvumela oorhulumente abohlukeneyo ukuba bafumane idatha yomsebenzisi.
Ngokuka-Cook, i-White House kuya kufuneka inyuke kwaye iyithethile le nto akufuneki kubekho iingcango zangasemva. Oku kuthetha ukuba urhulumente wase-United States kufuneka agqibe izicelo zomlawuli we-FBI, okholelwa ukuba iinkampani ezinje ngeApple kufuneka zenze iingcango zangasemva ezibavumela ukuba bafikelele kwidatha yomsebenzisi nakwizixhobo zabo ukulawula abanqolobi.
Indawo yokuma kwe-CEO ye-Apple icacile: abasebenzisi kufuneka babe ngabanini beenkcukacha zethu kwaye kufuneka sithathe isigqibo sokuba sabelana ngantoni kwaye sizigcinela ntoni. Kwelinye icala, igqwetha Jikelele u-Loretta Lynch uqinisekisa ukuba kufuneka kubekhona imali eseleyo igqitywe ngabaphathi phakathi kobucala nokhuseleko lwesizwe.
Umongameli wase-United States, u-Barack Obama bekufanele ukuba uthethile ngalo mbandela izolo, kodwa khange athethe nto malunga nokubhala ngedatha. Uye wathi itekhnoloji kufuneka isetyenziselwe ukulwa izinto ezinje utshintsho lwemozulu okanye imfundoKodwa khange athethe ngokudala iingcango zangasemva zokulwa ubunqolobi. Ngaba linyathelo lokuqala "lokuqinisekisa", oku kuhlala kuchaphulo olu, ubumfihlo bethu? Kwaye u-Obama uthanda ukungazenzi iingcango zangasemva, nangona indlela yakhe yokucinga ichaphazele uhlaselo lwamva nje eParis.
Ingxaki, kwaye oku kuqinisekileyo kwakukhankanyiwe kwintlanganiso ye-White House, kukuba, ukuba kukho ucango lwangasemva olwenzelwe oorhulumente ukuba imigewu ngolunya uya kuyifumana kungekudala okanye kamva. Ngale minyango ingasemva kwaye kanye ngaphakathi, banokufumana nantoni na ngathi, ukusuka kumagama abasebenzisi kunye neephasiwedi ukuya kwiinkcukacha zebhanki. Ekugqibeleni, kuphela abo bonzakeleyo, ngokulahlekelwa yimfihlo, iya kuba ngabasebenzisi abaqhelekileyo, kuba abanqolobi baya kuhlala befumana indlela ekhuselekileyo yokunxibelelana. Ingaba ucinga ntoni?
Ndiyavuma ngokupheleleyo. Ukuba bayile ngokwenyani le "minyango" abantu baya kuyifumana kungekudala. Ke ngoko, abagrogrisi, abahlaseli kunye nezinye iigeksi baya kwazi. Ukuba oku kuyenzeka, akukho mntu uya kusebenzisa i-iPhone. Ubuncinane bonke. Iyahlekisa.
