NgoNovemba 1, 2019, kwaqinisekiswa amahlebezi emkhakheni wezobuchwepheshe, amahlebezi aphakamisa ukuthi I-Google ingathenga i-Fibit, umkhiqizi ongumakadebona emakethe uma kukhulunywa ngokuzivocavoca amabhande ezihlakala. Njengokujwayelekile kulolu hlobo lokuthenga, iziphathimandla ezilawulayo bekufanele zinikeze imvume.
Iziphathimandla ezilawulayo ukuthi, kuze kube namuhla, ngilokhu ngizibuza ukuthi bebecabangani ngenkathi ku-2014 ivumele ukuthengwa kweWhatsApp ngeFacebook. I-European Commission yavula uphenyo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kuzokwenzekani ngemininingwane yamakhasimende kaFitbit.
Ekugcineni, i-European Commission ikwamukele ukuthengwa ngoba iFitbit iqinisekisa ukuthi idatha yabasebenzisi beFitbit ngeke isetshenziswe noma nini i-Google wokukhangisa, ngoba idatha izogcinwa ngokuzimela kusuka kulokho okugcinwa yiGoogle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, intshisekelo ye-Google ikumadivayisi, hhayi kwimininingwane yamakhasimende ayo (iqiniso esingalicabangela isigamu).
Kusuka kwaGoogle baqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzisi bazoqhubeka nokuba nenketho ye- xhuma kumasevisi wesithathu ukuqapha nokuhlaziya umsebenzi wakho, ngaphandle kokuphoqeleka ukusebenzisa isixazululo esinikezwa i-Google ngeGoogle Fit.
Leli yiphuzu elibaluleke kakhulu elithethelela isinqumo seKhomishini yaseYurophu sokuvula uphenyo, kusukela ifuna ukugwema ukuba yedwa (into abangayenzanga nge-WhatsApp futhi manje bayazisola).
UFitbit uhole ukuvela kwamabhande esihlakala okulinganisa
UFitbit wethule isongo lokuqala lokulinganisa ngo-2009 futhi kusukela lapho selibeke emakethe amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-120. Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, ngenxa yokwanda kwabakhiqizi abasha, kuya kuba nzima ukufinyelela abantu abaningi, ngakho-ke ukubheja ekunikezeni ngezinsizakalo ezingeziwe okungekho omunye umenzi onazo.
