Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, inkundla yezokuxhumana kaMark Zuckerberg yathenga i-WhatsApp cishe ngama-euro ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-22.000, inani eliphakeme ngendlela emangalisayo futhi ngaleso sikhathi, kuthinte ingxenye enkulu yomphakathi. Hhayi kuphela ngenxa yentengo kodwa ngenxa yokuhlanganiswa kwezinkampani ezimbili ezazibusa (futhi ziyaqhubeka nokulawula namuhla) ingxenye yemakethe yezenhlalo. Namuhla, i- I-European Commission isikhokhe inhlawulo ye-110 million euro ku-Facebook ngenxa yokungajwayelekile kwedatha yokuhlanganiswa kwe-Facebook ne-WhatsApp ngemuva kophenyo olwenziwe yiBrussels. Umnyombo wokwephulwa usekelwe ekuvumeni kukaFacebook lokho bekungenakwenzeka ngokomthetho ukuxhumanisa ama-akhawunti wabasebenzisi abene-akhawunti kuwo womabili amanethiwekhi wokuxhumana nomphakathi, isici sokuthi unyaka owedlule samenyezelwa nguMark Zuckerberg.
Ngo-2014 uFacebook wayazi ukuthi ukuzibandakanya komsebenzisi kungenzeka
Ithuba lobuchwepheshe lokuxhumanisa ubunikazi babasebenzisi be-Facebook ne-WhatsApp selivele likhona ku-2014 nabasebenzi be-Facebook bebazi
Lawa ngamazwi athathwe embhalweni osemthethweni okhishwe ngu ikhomishini yaseYurophu ngemuva kokumemezela inhlawulo yama-euro ayizigidi eziyi-110 ku-Facebook. Ngemuva kokumemezela ngokusemthethweni ukuthengwa kweWhatsApp ngo-2014, i-European Union yathatha izintambo hlaziya izici ze-fusion ngokuya ngemithetho ekhona.
KwakungoDisemba 2016 lapho abakwaFacebook bethola isaziso sokuthi kunenhlawulo eyayiphethwe eBrussels futhi kuthunyelwa lapho isitatimende samacala ngakho konke ukwephula umthetho okubonwe yi-EU ngemuva kokuhlangana. I-blue giant ibambisene ne-European Commission ngakho-ke, inani lecala liphansi.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi uma iKhomishini yaseYurophu Ngangizobona ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa kwe-akhawunti kuzothinta umncintiswano, okuvela eBrussels ukuhlangana bekungahle kuhoxiswe njengoba kuphawulwe yi-EC:
Sibheka ukuthi kuzokwenzekani uma i-Facebook ingaxhuma ngokuzenzakalela abasebenzisi bayo futhi iphethe ngokuthi ngeke ithinte isinqumo sethu. Kungakho kungazange kudingeke ukuthi sihoxise ukugunyazwa kokuhlangana.
Isinyathelo esiphumelele se-European Union ngaleyo ndlela imihlahlandlela yezinyathelo zomthetho ukuthi kukhiqizwa ngokwengeziwe ezindaweni zase-Europe, ngokuya ngokuthengwa kwezinkampani ezincane yizinkampani ezinkulu ezitshala imali ocwaningweni nasekuthuthukisweni.
Leyo ewele ku-Facebook iyinkampani evelele phakathi kwezingosi zokuxhumana nabantu, kepha lokho akubashiyi ngaphandle komthetho, i-athikili enhle futhi ethakazelisa kakhulu, ngiyabonga.
Ngicabanga ukuthi bayitholile, njengoba beqambe amanga ngokungazi ukuthi ama-akhawunti we-Facebook ne-WhatsApp angahlanganiswa, lo mbhalo ubumnandi kakhulu.
