Abenzi bomthetho baseMelika baqondise i-TikTok nezinye izinkampani zobuchwepheshe kumthethosivivinywa omusha

Abenzi bomthetho baseMelika sebephinde bakhomba iTikTok, ngezenzo okuhloswe ngazo ukuvimbela ukusetshenziswa kwayo. Ngale ndlela, uhulumeni uhlose ukubhekana nezinkinga zokuphepha kwezwe ezihlobene nobuchwepheshe bezinkampani zangaphandle.

Uhulumeni wase-US uphinde waqondisa i-TikTok ngokuvimbela uhlelo lokusebenza, kanye nezinye izinkampani zobuchwepheshe zaseChina. Izinqumo zenziwa ngokukhipha a ibhili entsha okubizwa ngokuthi uMthetho Wokukhawulela Ukuvela Kwezinsongo Zokuvikeleka Ezibeka Ingcuphe Ulwazi Nobuchwepheshe Bezokuxhumana (RESTRICT).

Lo mthethosivivinywa uhlose ukuhlinzeka ngomthetho obanzi kakhulu "wezinsongo zakwamanye amazwe" kwezobuchwepheshe futhi uvimbele ukuqoqwa kwedatha yomuntu siqu ebucayi yezakhamizi zase-US ezingaphezu kwesigidi yizinhlangano zakwamanye amazwe.

Umthethosivivinywa uzogunyaza izikhungo zikahulumeni wase-US ukuthi zivimbe ubuchwepheshe obuthathwa njengobubeka "ingozi engadingekile noma engamukeleki" kwezokuphepha kwezwe.

Lokhu kubandakanya "izinhlelo zokusebenza ezivele zikumafoni ethu, izingxenye ezibalulekile zengqalasizinda ye-inthanethi, nesofthiwe esekela ingqalasizinda ebalulekile."

Ukwengeza, lo mthethosivivinywa ukhomba amazwe afana neChina, Cuba, Iran, Korea, Russia kanye neVenezuela njengemithombo yezinsongo. Amazwe wonke “azinikele kuphethini yesikhathi eside, noma ahileleke ezimeni ezibucayi zokuziphatha eziphambene kakhulu nokuvikeleka kwezwe lase-United States noma ukuphepha nokuvikeleka kwabantu base-United States.”

I-TikTok ivinjelwe, umlando uyaziphinda

NgoDisemba 2020, iSenethi yaseMelika yaphasisa umthethosivivinywa ozovimbela i-TikTok kumishini kahulumeni ezinhlakeni ezifana ne-White House, uMnyango Wezokuvikela, uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya kanye noMnyango Wezwe.

Lo mthethosivivinywa kamuva wagoqwa waba umthethosivivinywa obanzi wokusebenzisa imali uMongameli uBiden owasayinwa waba umthetho ngoDisemba, okwenza umqondisi weHhovisi Lokuphatha Nesabelomali (OMB), akhiphe umnqamulajuqu wezinsuku ezingama-30 wokukhipha iTikTok kumafoni akhishwe uhulumeni, avinjwe. ukufakwa kwesikhathi esizayo, futhi uvimbele ithrafikhi ye-inthanethi ohlelweni lokusebenza.

Kodwa-ke, ngokungafani nomthethosivivinywa owedlule, i-RESTRICT Act idlula nje ukuvimbela i-TikTok, futhi ihlose ukulawula ububanzi obubanzi bobuchwepheshe bangaphandle.

UMTHETHO WOKUNQANDA akuwona wodwa

Endlini, abenzi bezomthetho be-GOP bacindezela uMthetho we-Deterring America's Technological Adversaries (DATA), ongavumela uMongameli uBiden ukuthi avimbele iTikTok nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinkampanini zaseChina.

Lo mthethosivivinywa wamukelwa ngesonto eledlule yiKomidi Lezindaba Zangaphandle LeNdlu mayelana nemigqa yeqembu.

Kuyacaca ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US uthatha umugqa oqinile ngokumelene nezinkampani zobuchwepheshe zaseShayina ezifana neTikTok, ekhuluma ngokukhathazeka kwezokuphepha kuzwelonke.

Umugqa ongezansi

Yize lo mthethosivivinywa ungakhulumi ngokuqondile ngenkundla yezokuxhumana, uhlanganiswe nezinye izinkampani zaseChina eziveze ukukhathazeka ngokuphatha kwazo idatha yomuntu siqu ebucayi.

Umthetho we-RESTRICT uphawula intuthuko ebalulekile engxoxweni eqhubekayo mayelana nendima ye-TikTok kwezokuphepha kwezwe lase-US. Kusazobonakala ukuthi izinhlinzeko zayo zizosetshenziswa kanjani ezinyangeni ezizayo.
