Ngemuva kwenani elikhulu labathuthukisi namapulatifomu bezwakalise ukungavumelani kwabo ngokuqaliswa kwe- I-FloC kusiphequluli sewebhu esidumile se-Google, i- "Chrome" isidlakela sokusesha sesethule muva nje ukuthi kwenziwe ushintsho ezinhlelweni zakho ukuqeda ukusekelwa kwe-Chrome kwamakhukhi wenkampani yangaphandle lapho ufinyelela amasayithi ngaphandle kwesizinda sekhasi lamanje (lawa makhukhi asetshenziselwa ukulandelela ukunyakaza kwabasebenzisi phakathi kwamasayithi ekhodi yamanethiwekhi esikhangiso, amawijethi ezokuxhumana nabantu, kanye nezinhlelo ze-web analytics).
Lapha kubhulogi sabelane ngamanothi ngakho futhi icala lakamuva kakhulu lelo le-Amazon, ngaphandle kokuvimba nje i-FloC kumawebhusayithi ayo ngaphambi kosuku lokuqala, ngaphezu kwalokho asikwazi futhi ukukhohlwa ukuvinjelwa yiGitHub kanye neWordPress, phakathi kwabanye.
Abaningi benu bangazibuza ukuthi kungani abaningi bephikisana neFLC futhi lokho ukuthi inkinga enkulu ukuthi abasebenzisi kufanele bakhethe phakathi "kokulandela okudala" kanye "nokulandela okusha" futhi abaningi ababuyekezi bakusho kaninginingi ukuthi ukuvumela amakhukhi ovela eceleni kwakuyinkinga enkulu kunazo zonke web futhi manje ukuyivumela ukuthi isebenze ngaphansi kwesethi ehlukile yamaphrothokholi kuyalimaza njengezinga elidala.
Ngaphandle kwakho konke lokhu, IGoogle iyaqhubeka nezinhlelo zokuqalisa ye-FloC, yize ukusekelwa kwamakhukhi wezinkampani zangaphandle ku-Chrome ekuqaleni kuhlelwe ukuthi kuphele kuze kube ngu-2022, lokhu isikhathi sishintshiwe okungenani unyaka nohhafunjengoba ukwenziwa kokushintshwa kwamakhukhi wenkampani yangaphandle kuthatha isikhathi eside kunokulindelekile.
Njengoba i-Google isho ukuthi ngasekupheleni kuka-2022, kuhlelwe ukuqedela ukuhlolwa kobuchwepheshe obuthatha isikhundla sobuchwepheshe bokulandela amakhukhi bese busebenza ku-Chrome, ngemuva kwalokho kuhlelwe ukunikeza amanethiwekhi wesikhangiso namasayithi okungenani izinyanga eziyi-9 ukuthuthela kwakho amasistimu, qapha umsebenzi wakho bese uthumela imibono. Maphakathi no-2023, i-Chrome izoqala ukukhipha ukusekelwa kwamakhukhi wenkampani yangaphandle esikhathini esiyizinyanga ezintathu.
Sihlela ukuqhubeka sisebenze nomphakathi wewebhu ukudala izindlela eziningi ezizimele ezindaweni ezibalulekile, kufaka phakathi ukukalwa kwesikhangiso, ukuletha okuqukethwe okufanele nezikhangiso, nokutholwa kokukhwabanisa.
Izinguquko ziyakhuthazwa njengengxenye yomkhankaso wobumfihlo weSandbox, okuhlose ukufeza ukuvumelana phakathi kwesidingo sabasebenzisi ukugcina ubumfihlo kanye nesifiso samanethiwekhi esikhangiso namasayithi ukulandelela okuthandwa yizivakashi. Esikhundleni sokulandela amakhukhi, kuphakanyiswa ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) ukucacisa izintshisekelo zomsebenzisi ngaphandle kokwephula ubumfihlo, kukuvumela ukuthi ugqamise amaqembu wabasebenzisi abanezintshisakalo ezifanayo ngaphandle kokukhomba abasebenzisi ngabanye.
Namuhla, i-Chrome nabanye banikeze iziphakamiso ezingaphezu kwezingama-30, kanti ezine zalezo ziphakamiso ziyatholakala kubufakazi bokusuka. Okwenzelwe i-Chrome ngqo, inhloso yethu ukuthi kube nobuchwepheshe obuyisisekelo ngaphambi kuka-2022 ukuze umphakathi wonjiniyela uqale ukusebenzisa.
Ukuqaliswa kokuhlolwa kwe-FLoC ku-Chrome kudale ukumelana emphakathini kanye nokugxeka okuhlobene neqiniso lokuthi i-FLoC ayixazululi zonke izinkinga futhi idala izingozi ezintsha, njengokudala izimo zokubandlululwa kwabasebenzisi kanye nokuvela kwesici esingeziwe sokukhonjwa okufihliwe nokulandelwa kokunyakaza komsebenzisi.
Ngokuya ngokuzibophezela kwethu ku-UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) nangokuhambisana nokuzibophezela esikwenzile, i-Chrome ingahle isuse amakhukhi enkampani yangaphandle esikhathini esiyizinyanga ezintathu, eqala maphakathi no-2023 futhi aphele ngasekupheleni kuka-2023.
Ngokusho kweMozilla, ubuchwepheshe beFloc budinga ukuthuthukiswa Futhi esimweni sayo samanje, ukutholwa kwayo ngobuningi kugcwele izingozi ezinkulu.
Okokugcina uma unesifiso sokwazi okwengeziwe ngakho mayelana nenothi, ungabheka ifayela le- imininingwane kusixhumanisi esilandelayo.
