UMongameli wase-US usabise ngomthetho uma iSilicon Valley ingashintshi izindlela zayo zokushintsha ithonya labezindaba e-United States.
"Ngiqondise abaphathi bami ukuthi bahlole zonke izixazululo ezilawulayo nezomthetho ukuze kuvikelwe inkulumo ekhululekile kanye namalungelo okukhuluma akhululekile abo bonke abantu baseMelika - nina bantu abakuleli gumbi," esho "engqungqutheleni yezokuxhumana" eWhite House.
UTwitter noFacebook abazange bamenywe nini UMongameli waseMelika uDonald J. Trump wamukele iqembu labaholi bezokuxhumana ngedijithali kanye nabagqugquzeli be-inthanethi e-White House ngoLwesine, lapho ebambe khona ingqungquthela yokuqala yohlobo lwayo ngokubaluleka kwenkululeko yokukhuluma ku-inthanethi.
“Ngamunye wenu ifeza indima ebalulekile esizweni sakithi: Uphonsela inselelo abalindisango bemithombo yezindaba kanye nabahloli bezinkampani ukuze balethe amaqiniso kubantu baseMelika.”
Inkulumo nokukhuluma ngokukhululeka ziwumgogodla wentando yeningi yaseMelika. Ukucwaninga akukhona. Akwamukelekile ukuthi amazwi alandelanayo aqhubeke nokuvinjwa ngokungafanele ezinye zezinkampani ezinkulu, ezinamandla kakhulu zemidiya nobuchwepheshe emhlabeni. UMengameli uzibophezele ukuthi lokhu kuchema, ukungathembeki, ukucwasa nokucindezelwa ngeke kumile.
Nakuba abanye kwabezindaba bathi udaba lokuchema kwezobuchwepheshe luyinkohliso—noma i-anecdotal kuphela—izinkampani zobuchwepheshe eziningi zivumile noma kutholwe ukuthi zibandakanyeka ekuhlolweni okukhethekile:
- I-Facebook ne-Twitter bahlanganyele kaningi ekuvinjweni kwesithunzi samazwi aqinile ezisekelweni zabo.
- Ngo-2018, i-Facebook yakhipha isixoliso ngokususa ngokungalungile isikhangiso sezepolitiki esikhangisa manje-Sen. Umkhankaso ka-Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
- Abasebenzi bakwa-Google bavumile ukuthi baphikisana ngokuthi bazingcwabe yini izindaba zikaMongameli Trump.
I-White House ithatha isinyathelo sokulwela inkululeko yokukhuluma—ku-inthanethi nakuyo yonke indawo. Ithuluzi ledijithali elethulwe ngabaPhathi bakaTrump ngoMeyi ladonsa izimpendulo ezingaphezu kuka-16,000 kubantu baseMelika ababelana ngezimo zokuchema kwezobuchwepheshe. Ngemva kwengqungquthela yaleli sonto, uMongameli Trump maduze uzohlangana nabamele izinkundla ezinkulu zokuxhumana ukudingida imikhuba engalungile.
UMongameli Trump iphinde iqondise abaphathi bakhe ukuthi bahlole izixazululo ezilawulayo nezomthetho ukuze kuvikelwe inkululeko yokukhuluma, amemezele engqungqutheleni ngoLwesine.
“Uxhumana ngqo nezakhamizi zethu ngaphandle kokubheka isihlungi sezindaba ezingelona iqiniso,” kusho uMengameli etshela abebehambele ingqungquthela. “Kulula kakhulu. Ndawonye, nifinyelela abantu abaningi kunanoma iyiphi inethiwekhi yokusakaza kamabonakude, kuze kube manje. Akusondeli ngisho eduze.”
Ijoyina uMongameli NgoLwesine bekungamalungu eCongress alwela ukuvikela inkululeko yokukhuluma ku-inthanethi—kokubili kuma-Conservatives nakuwo wonke umuntu waseMelika. USen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), uSeni. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), umholi we-House Minority Leader u-Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), kanye no-Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) bonke bakhulume ngokubaluleka kokufinyelela obala okwengeziwe , ukuziphendulela, kanye nenkululeko kuzo zonke izinkundla ze-inthanethi.
Imidiya ejwayelekile bathi “akukho ukuvinjelwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana”—bathi “kwakhiwe konke,” kusho uSen. Hawley. “Mina nawe siyazi ukuthi lokho akulona iqiniso. Mina nawe siyazi ukuthi iqiniso liwukuthi iziqhwaga ezinkundleni zokuxhumana zingathanda ukusivala, zingathanda ukusivala umlomo ... futhi ngeke sizivumele.”
