Ulwesihlanu lokugcina, Tim Cook futhi abamele abambalwa bezinkampani zeSilicon Valley bahlangana nezikhulu ezivela ku Casa Blanca ukukhuluma ngokusetshenziswa kobuchwepheshe nemithombo yezokuxhumana ekulweni nobuphekula. Imininingwane mayelana nalo mhlangano ikhishwe namhlanje futhi, okuthile okungafanele kumangaze noma ngubani, uTim Cook uphinde waqinisekisa isikhundla sakhe sokungakhi iminyango emuva kusoftware ukuvumela ohulumeni abehlukene ukuthi bakwazi ukuthola imininingwane yomsebenzisi.
Ngokusho kukaCook, iWhite House kuzofanela isukume ikusho ngokweqile lokho akufanele kube khona iminyango yangemuva. Lokhu kusho ukuthi uhulumeni wase-United States kufanele anqobe izicelo zomqondisi we-FBI, okholelwa ukuthi izinkampani ezifana ne-Apple kufanele zenze iminyango engemuva ebavumela ukuthi bakwazi ukufinyelela kwimininingwane yomsebenzisi namadivayisi abo ukuze bakwazi ukulawula amaphekula.
Isimo se-CEO ye-Apple sicacile: abasebenzisi kufanele babe ngabanikazi bemininingwane yethu futhi kufanele sinqume ukuthi yini esabelana ngayo nokuthi yini esizigcinela yona. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, Ummeli Jikelele uLoretta Lynch uqinisekisa ukuthi kufanele kube khona ibhalansi enqunywe ngabaphathi phakathi kobumfihlo nokuphepha kwezwe.
Umongameli waseMelika, uBarack Obama bekufanele ngabe ukhulumile ngalolu daba izolo, kepha akazange asho lutho ngokubethelwa kwedatha. Uthe ubuchwepheshe kumele busetshenziselwe ukulwa nezinto ezifana ne ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu noma imfundoKepha akazange akhulume ngokwakha iminyango emuva ukulwa nobushokobezi. Ingabe kuyisinyathelo sokuqala "sokuqinisekisa", lokhu njalo kuzilinganiso, ubumfihlo bethu? Futhi ngukuthi u-Obama uthanda ukungazenzi izicabha ezingemuva, yize indlela yakhe yokucabanga yathinteka ekuhlaselweni kwakamuva eParis.
Inkinga, futhi lokhu nakanjani kukhulunywe ngakho emhlanganweni we-White House, ukuthi uma kukhona umnyango ongemuva owenzelwe ohulumeni ukuthi bawusebenzise, kubaduni enonya uzoyithola kungekudala noma kamuva. Ngale minyango engemuva futhi uma sebengaphakathi, bangathola noma yini ngathi, kusuka kumagama abasebenzisi kanye namaphasiwedi kuya emininingwaneni yasebhange. Ekugcineni, ukuphela kwalabo abalimala, ngokulahlekelwa yimfihlo yethu, kungaba abasebenzisi abajwayelekile, ngoba amaphekula azohlala ethola indlela ephephile yokuxhumana. Ucabangani?
Ngiyavuma ngokuphelele. Uma bezakha ngempela lezi "minyango" abantu bazothola kungekudala. Ngakho-ke, amaphekula, abaduni kanye namanye ama-geeks azokwazi. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, awukho umuntu ozosebenzisa i-iPhone. Okungenani bonke. Kuyahlekisa.
