Abathathu kwabane baseMelika (amaphesenti angama-76) bayakholelwa ukuqashwa kwesikhashana amasayithi kufanele athweswe icala ngokuhambisana nemithetho yendawo, futhi amaphesenti angu-73 asekela ukuchitshiyelwa kweSigaba 230 soMthetho Wenhlonipho Yezokuxhumana (CDA) ukuze kumiswe izinkampani, njenge-Airbnb ne-HomeAway, ekusebenziseni umthetho wenhlangano ukuze zigweme ukuhambisana nemithetho yezwe neyendawo. , ngokocwaningo lweMorning Consult.
Izingosi zewebhu eziku-inthanethi nezinkundla zokuxhumana zithi i-CDA Isigaba 230 sibanikeza isivikelo kunoma yiluphi ulwazi olushicilelwe ngabasebenzisi abavela eceleni noma okuqukethwe kuwebhusayithi yabo. Kodwa-ke, izinkundla eziqashisayo ze-Big Tech ezifana ne-Airbnb ne-HomeAway bezilokhu zisebenzisa umthetho ukuze zimangalele ohulumeni bamadolobha ezweni lonke ngokushaya imithetho engadinga ukuthi izindawo eziqashiswayo zesikhashana zisuse ukufakwa kuhlu okuqashiswayo okunenzuzo, kodwa okungekho emthethweni kumawebhusayithi wabo.
Amadolobha aseqalile ukuwohloka ezinkundleni eziqashisayo ze-Big Tech, njenge-Airbnb ne-HomeAway, ngemva kokuba inani elikhulayo lezifundo ezibonise ukuthutheleka kwezindawo eziqashisayo zesikhashana emadolobheni ase-US kuqede ukunikezwa kwezindlu futhi kwenyusa izindleko zokuqasha noma ukuba nendlu. Omele u-Ed Case (D-HI) wethule umthetho we-bipartisan, HR4232, oxhaswe ngokuhlanganyela ngu-Rep. Peter King (R-NY) kanye no-Rep.

Ucwaningo lukazwelonke lwabantu abadala abangu-2,200, olwenziwe yiMorning Consult ngo-Agasti 27-29, lubonise abantu baseMelika bakholelwa ngokuqinile ukuthi izinkampani eziqashisayo zesikhashana ezifana ne-Airbnb ne-HomeAway kufanele ziphendule ngomsebenzi wamaphoyisa ongekho emthethweni kumawebhusayithi abo nokuthi i-CDA 230 kufanele ichitshiyelwe:
• Abangu-76% bavumile ukuthi “uma i-Airbnb yenza inzuzo ngokuqasha isikhashana esizeni sayo, kufanele iqinisekise ukuthi umnikazi oqashisa indawo ulandela imithetho yendawo kanye nezimfuneko zokuphepha.”

UChip Rogers, umongameli kanye ne-CEO e-American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) uthi izinkampani eziqashisa ngesikhashana eziqashisayo zisebenzisa kabi umthetho wobumbano osekuphele amashumi eminyaka ukhona ngaphezu kwenhloso yeCongress ngokufaka amacala ombuso ngokumelene namadolobha ukuze ziqinele abaholi bendawo ukuthi bachithe imithetho ehloselwe ukuvikela. izindlu ezithengekayo, kuncishiswe imithelela engemihle ezindaweni ezihlala kuzo kanye nokuvikela imisebenzi yezokuvakasha.
"Isikhathi eside kakhulu, lezi zindawo eziqashisayo ze-Big Tech bezicashe ngalo mthetho wakudala ukuze ziqine futhi zisabise ngokuthatha izinyathelo zomthetho ezikhundleni ezikhethiwe ezizama ukuvikela izakhamuzi zazo ekuqashisweni ngokungemthetho ezicekela phansi izindawo ezingomakhelwane," Kusho uRogers. "Lolu cwaningo luqinisekisa ukuthi abantu baseMelika bakholelwa ukuthi izinkampani eziqashisayo zesikhashana zinesibopho sokususa ukufakwa kuhlu kwezindawo eziqashisayo ezingekho emthethweni esizeni sabo futhi kufanele zithobele imithetho yendawo ukuze zivikele izindlu ezingabizi nezinga lempilo."
URogers uqhubeke waveza ukuthi njengoba iningi labantu baseMelika lisekela ukuchitshiyelwa kweSigaba 230 se-CDA sokumisa izindawo eziqashisayo zesikhashana ekusebenziseni umthetho ukuze kugwenywe ukulandelwa kwemithetho yendawo, iCongress kufanele ithathe isinyathelo ngaphandle kokulibala.
"Lezi nkundla eziqashisayo ze-Big Tech zisebenzisa igebe emthethweni wobumbano ukuze zibafihlele abaholi bakahulumeni basekhaya ezweni lonke, kuyilapho beqhubeka nokuzuza ngokwenza ibhizinisi elingekho emthethweni," kusho uRogers. “Ngokombono wemboni, simane sifuna izinkundla ezifana ne-Airbnb ne-HomeAway ukuthi zithobele imithetho efanayo imboni yamahhotela enamathela kuyo kanye nawo wonke amanye amabhizinisi athobela umthetho, kusukela emigwaqweni emikhulu emadolobheni amancane kuya ezindaweni zamabhizinisi amaphakathi emadolobheni amakhulu. ICongress akufanele ivumele izinkundla eziqashisayo zeBig Tech ukuthi zisebenze ngaphezu komthetho.”
