La I-American Civil Liberties Union, eyaziwa kangcono njenge I-ACLU, ugcwalise ngokubhala lapho izwakalisa ukusekela kwayo i-Apple ku-pulse abanayo noHulumeni wase-US. Inhlangano ithi isoftware i-FBI idinga ukuthi inkampani yaseCupertino idale ukuvumela abaphenyi ukuthi badlule izici zokuphepha ezifakiwe zimele ukweqiswa kwegunya elizoshiya amakhulu ezigidi zabasebenzisi bevezwe ekuhlaselweni kwezokuphepha.
I-ACLU yinhlangano yakamuva yokukhuluma ngempikiswano yezokuphepha nobumfihlo, futhi ikwenze lokho ngokuxhasa i-Apple, ngaleyo ndlela ujoyine iGoogle, Microsoft (akunjalo kuBill Gates), owayezongenela ukhetho lukamongameli uRon Paul, umsunguli weWhatsApp uJan Koum kanye ne-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Kepha kukhona nabantu abacabanga ukuthi uTim Cook nenkampani kuzodingeka bangene, ovelele kakhulu ongomunye wabazithandayo abazongenela isikhundla sikamongameli wase-United States, uDonald Trump, owaze wafuna nokuba kudube i-Apple (into ayenzile kusuka kuselula yakhe).
I-ACLU ikholelwa ekutheni uhulumeni weqisa ngokweqile
Leli cala aliqondene nefoni eyodwa, limayelana negunya likahulumeni lokuguqula izinkampani zobuchwepheshe zibhekane nabasebenzisi bazo. Ukuphepha nobumfihlo bezigidi zabantu baseMelika kuncike ekwethembekeni esikubeka ezinkampanini ezenza amadivayisi ethu. Uma uhulumeni ephumelela ukuphoqa izinkampani ukuthi zisebenzise ukwethenjwa kwabasebenzisi bazo, kuzobe sekubuyisele emuva ukuphepha kwedijithali nobumfihlo ngamashumi eminyaka ambalwa.
Umfushane we-ACLU ugxile emaphuzu amane wesicelo uHulumeni wase-United States asenzile ukuvikela ukusetshenziswa kwe Wonke umthetho obhaliwe ngenhloso yokuphoqa i-Apple ukuthi yakhe isoftware ekhethekile:
- I-Apple ayinalo noma alulawuli imininingwane ecelwe nguhulumeni, kwanele ukuthi ikhishwe ebhokisini ukuthi yenqabe ukusebenzisana.
- Ukwakha isoftware uhulumeni afuna ukuyakha i-Apple "kuwumthwalo ngokweqile" enkampanini.
- Abaphenyi abakhombisanga ukuthi ulwazi abazoluthola luyadingeka.
- Imithetho ikwenqabela ngqo okwenziwa nguhulumeni.
Kuyacaca ukuthi le ndaba iseneziqephu eziningi ezisele, kepha i-Apple isivele iyinqobile impi yayo yokuqala eNew York. Sethemba ukuthi uTim Cook nenkampani bayaqhubeka nokunqoba izimpi nezimpi ezizayo, ngemininingwane yethu nobumfihlo.
