Are tech companies hiding the truth of war crimes?

by BusinessDigitalTechnology

What are “War Crimes”? 

War Crimes is breaking an International Humanitarian Law and offense of war laws by committing crime against civilians such as torturing war prisoners, killing civilians in cold blood.

How do tech companies hide the truth of war crimes?

According to tech companies, they do not hide the “truth” of war crimes, rather they are protecting the policies regarding the content. For e.g. take one famous social media, obviously there will be children, weak heart condition people, emotional and mentally disturbed individuals who use social media. Now, if we were to say, someone posted highly disturbing or violent content on a social media platform, all those above mentioned people are going to see it, which will leave them with trauma. If content is less disturbing, with the proper context that content can be allowed to stay on the platform. If not, the company has to remove it from the platform. 

So what are the contents related to war crimes that go against policy?

  • Terrorist activity
  • Violent content
  • Offensive content
  • Adult content

War is messy and it is something that a person could never forget if they saw or experienced. War includes terrorist, offensive, violent and disturbing activities. Supposedly, there is a war going on between X and Y countries. X is very powerful in comparison to Y. Therefore, X declared a war on Y. Y country is in crisis and people are dying. 

Is it possible that there are no other crimes being committed by X country except the ones that are being forecasted on television? 

No of course not! Supposedly, there is Z Company, which is a platform for users to post small videos and photos. If someone posted a video of war crimes on the platform of Z Company. Z Company will remove it from the platform immediately. 

Now where is that deleted content stored? 

The answer is: In Z Company’s data storage. Every truth, every video, every photo of war crime is stored in that. Mystery solved!

Is it illegal for tech companies to hide the truth? If not, are they wrong to do it?

It is legal for tech companies to hide the truth. Honestly, they are not hiding anything. They are just following their policy and regulation. 

But are they wrong to do it? 

Partially, yes! Also, as explained earlier, allowing such disturbing and violent content is harmful to those users. Therefore, they are partially correct to remove such content.

Now after knowing a two sided perspective, it depends on you as an individual to decide if removing evidence of war crimes from websites is good or bad.

Managed IT Services

by BusinessDigitalTechnology

What is Managed IT Service?

Managed IT is a business model in which your information technology is managed by an outsourced service provider. A managed service model, on the other hand, is frequently subscription-based, with providers agreeing to pay a monthly fee in exchange for continuous system maintenance.

Why do we think Managed IT Service is Important?

Managed IT will not only help recover the disaster if anything happens to your data center or any of your hardware but it will also save you time and money as well as provide you peace of mind when it comes to uptime and downtime. COVID-19 and remote working have only compounded the need for contemporary firms to have up-to-date IT.

Still Confused?

Managed IT ensures that your devices:

  • Are always up to date with the latest security features

  • Ensuring your network is always up and running

  • The VoIP phones always ring 

  • All sensitive data is secure and backed up

Transitioning to new IT processes and systems, however, is not easy. A reputable MSP (Managed Service Provider) will be able to provide you a thorough assessment of your present IT infrastructure. Then, depending on the results, they can give recommendations to ensure the future viability of your company’s IT. For example, one simple tip we frequently offer to our clients is to update their Wi-Fi router to a Wi-Fi 6 system, which increases capacity, connection, and security.

Furthermore, Managed IT services have become valuable assets in the previous year, collaborating with businesses to adjust to pandemic-related constraints. They assisted clients in implementing remote working and added value via many business resilience solutions.

What Can a Managed IT Support Service Do for Your Business?

The specifics of what a Managed IT plan comprises may vary depending on your company’s unique demands and skill set. Most managed service providers, for example, can provide a basic package of daily assistance as well as more advanced packages.

Some of the features Includes:

  • Disaster recovery

  • VoIP

  • Onsite engineers

  • Server maintenance

  • Backup recovery

  • Printer management



We @CloudPloys make sure to help businesses by providing the best Managed IT services along with remote monitoring and management to identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot potential problems before it becomes a hassle for the company. Not only this, but we also provide companies with a wide range of solutions. More on the “Managed IT Solutions” to be covered in our upcoming blog. 

WFH

Permanent Work From Home – New HR Contract Model

by with No Comment BusinessDigitalTechnology

The most trending HR employee contract model now includes “Work from ANYWHERE” apart from the usual “Permanent |  Full-Time | Causal | Part-Time | etc.” This model essentially allows employees to choose whether they want to be full time at the Office | Home | Office and Home.

Spotify is the latest tech company which has recently adapted this model. The company will adhere to implementing extreme flexibility even around locations, giving employees the freedom to even choose the country and city where they would like to work from. The company has decided to provide co-working space memberships for its employees who choose to work remotely and at the same time desire for a dedicated workspace. Hence, giving them the best of both worlds!!!

We are seeing more and more big-scale companies adopting the remote work model as a more permanent and concrete option due to adversities caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. This framework will give more assurance to companies in leading a more persistent growth. 

With this dynamic shift in workplace concept, companies are at the forefront of reassessing their office spaces across the globe for increased perseverance, flexibility and prosperity to ensure that all of their operations, regardless of the situation, goes on unobstructedly, comfortably and efficiently. The main objective of this new employee roadmapping approach is to ensure that employees in the uncertain long-run have a permanent & backup place where they can perform with focus, collaborate without obstruction, innovate and recreate and the possibility of this should prevail whether at an office/home desk, in a conference room, a cafe or a co-working space.

Spotify is not the only tech company, there are other significant companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, Twitter, Square, etc. who have considered and implemented this dynamic employee contractual setting. Salesforce recently announced to let its employees choose whether they would consider coming into the office again? While Simultaneously emphasizing that the 9-to-5 workday routine is dead. Square and Twitter are letting employees work from home #wfh FOR GOOD! And lastly Microsoft also offered its workers high flexibility to work from home.

 

 

As evidently seen that we have a rising number of companies who are proactively considering remote work as a more permanent option due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I think it is time that all companies should prepare for the same and evolve with the changing time. The world is not the same anymore. In this world only the digitally adept will survive. @CloudPloys we help companies in upscaling and proofing their business against such adversities, so please reach out for a consultation and a relaxed discussion!
