I-Google ixazulula icala lesenzo sekilasi mayelana nendlela elandelela ngayo idatha evela kubantu abathile abasebenzisa iziphequluli kumodi "yangasese" noma "i-incognito".

Abamangali bangene UBrown et al v. Google LLC isole ukuthi i-Google yephule imithetho yenhlangano yase-US ephathelene nokuthinta ngezintambo kanye nokuhlasela ubumfihlo, ngokuqhubeka nokulandelela, ukuqoqa, nokuhlonza idatha yokuphequlula evela kubasebenzisi "beModi ye-Incognito" ku-Google Chrome, nezinye izindlela zokuphequlula eziyimfihlo kwezinye iziphequluli. Baqale bafuna okungenani u-$5,000 kumuntu ngamunye owephule umthetho eminyakeni emine edlule, inani elingase, ngokombono, lifinyelele ezigidinigidi eziningi.

NgoDisemba 28, izinhlangothi zombili zafinyelela isivumelwano sokuxazulula. Imibandela eqondile yokuxazulula ayikakabi sesidlangalaleni, ngakho-ke kusazobonakala ukuthi i-Google izohlupheka kangakanani ngenxa yeziphambeko zayo, nokuthi i-Chrome ingashintsha kanjani ngempela ngenxa yalokho.

"I-Google isesimweni esithakazelisayo, igcina isiphequluli sewebhu esidumile esinikeza imodi yobumfihlo futhi ngaleso sikhathi sikhuthazwa kakhulu ukunikeza izikhangiso ezifanele kubasebenzisi," kusho u-Robert Duncan, i-VP ye-Strategy kwa-Netcraft. "Isixazululo kuleli cala simane sigqamisa lesi simo esiyinselele."

I-Google inqabile isicelo sokubeka amazwana kule ndaba.

Abamangali abazange basho amazwi isikhalazo sabo sokuqala, efakwe eminyakeni emibili nengxenye edlule.

“Izinqubo ze-Google ziphula ubumfihlo babasebenzisi; ukukhohlisa ngamabomu abathengi; nikeza i-Google kanye nabasebenzi bayo amandla okufunda imininingwane ejulile mayelana nezimpilo zabantu, izinto abazithandayo, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwe-inthanethi; futhi senze i-Google 'iyeke ukuthenga' noma yimuphi umlingisi kahulumeni, ozimele, noma ubugebengu ofuna ukubukela phansi ubumfihlo babantu, ukuphepha, noma inkululeko," kubhala abameli. "I-Google izenzele inqwaba yemininingwane eningiliziwe futhi enwetshiwe kangangokuthi uGeorge Orwell wayengeke ayiphuphe."

Kulesi simo, ukukhathazeka bekungokuphequlula okuyimfihlo, kanye nezithembiso ezenziwa kubasebenzisi abafisa ukuphequlula ngokuthula nangokuthula. “I-Google ithembisa abathengi ukuthi 'bangaphequlula iWebhu ngasese' futhi bahlale 'belawula ukuthi yiluphi ulwazi [abasebenzisi] ababelana ngalo ne-Google.' Ukuvimbela imininingwane ukuthi yabiwe ne-Google, i-Google incoma ukuthi abathengi bayo badinga kuphela ukwethula isiphequluli esifana ne-Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, noma iFirefox 'kumodi yokuphequlula yangasese.' Zombili lezi zinkulumo azilona iqiniso.”

Inkampani, ngakolunye uhlangothi, yazama ukuthi icala lichithwe, ngesizathu sokuthi ayikaze iqambe amanga ngalokho okuhlinzekwa yi-Incognito Mode yesiphequluli sayo. “Njengoba sisho ngokucacile isikhathi ngasinye lapho uvula ithebhu entsha ye-incognito, amawebhusayithi angase akwazi ukuqoqa ulwazi mayelana nomsebenzi wakho wokuphequlula phakathi neseshini yakho,” umkhulumeli we-Google. kukhumbuza i-New York Times emuva ku-2020.

In ephika leso siphakamiso, Ijaji u-Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers weNkantolo Yesifunda Yase-US Yesifunda Esisenyakatho Ye-California wabhala ukuthi “isiphakamiso se-Google sincike embonweni wokuthi abamangali bavumele i-Google ukuthi iqoqe idatha yabo ngenkathi bephequlula ngendlela eyimfihlo. Ngenxa yokuthi i-Google ayikaze ibatshele ngokucacile abasebenzisi ukuthi iyakwenza lokho, iNkantolo ayikwazi ukuthola njengomthetho ukuthi abasebenzisi bakuvumele ngokusobala ukuqoqwa kwedatha yendaba.”

Ubunzima Bezindlela Zokuphequlula Eziyimfihlo

Izindlela eziyimfihlo kuziphequluli ezithandwa kakhulu, ezisebenziseka kalula namuhla azisona isixazululo esisodwa sobumfihlo be-inthanethi abanye abacabanga ukuthi siyiso.

“Ngisho noma sekwenziwe ngokuphelele, kusengenzeka ukuthi ama-ISP, amanethiwekhi ezinkampani, nezinye izinsiza zenethiwekhi zilandelele ukusetshenziswa. Lokhu kusebenza futhi kumawebhusayithi avakashelwe: kuyilapho iziphequluli zingase zibonise kumawebhusayithi avakashelwe ekuphequluleni okuyimfihlo ukuthi awalandeleli kusetshenziswa isihloko se-Do-Not-Track HTTP noma ngezinye izindlela, lesi isicelo esiningi kakhulu futhi singazitshwa amawebhusayithi nezinye izinsiza ze-inthanethi. ,” kuchaza uDuncan.

Noma kunjalo, abanye bakwenza kangcono kunabanye. UClaude Mandy, umvangeli omkhulu wezokuphepha kwedatha kwaSymmetry Systems, ukhomba ku-Electronic Frontier Foundation's. Vala Amaculo Akho iphrojekthi, noma ubani angayisebenzisa ukuze abone ukuthi iziphequluli zabo ziqoqani ngayo. "Ucwaningo lwabo lukhomba ukuthi yize iFirefox ihlinzeka ngokuvikela okuthile kubalandeleli lapho besebenzisa izilungiselelo zabo Zokuphequlula Okuyimfihlo, ayinikezi izinga lokuvikela i-Tor Browser noma iSiphequluli Esinesibindi esingasinikeza ngokungaziwa noma ukwenza ngokungahleliwe izigxivizo zeminwe ezinikezwa yisiphequluli."

Ukuthi amacala afana no-Brown v Google LLC azosondeza iziphequluli ezivamile kulelo zinga eliphezulu kusazobonakala.

"Ukusongelwa kwamacala kanye nokunye ukuxazululwa okukhulu okufana nalokhu kuzophoqa izinguquko ezikhulayo ekukhanyeni nasekukhetheni okunikezwe abathengi ukugwema ukuxazululwa okwengeziwe lapho usebenzisa izindlela ze-incognito," kusho uMandy. "Lolu wushintsho olwamukelekile kodwa ekugcineni lunikeza ugqozi olulinganiselwe lokunciphisa ukulandela ngezinjongo zokukhangisa."
