This is quiet common in India also. Black is considered bad, evil and ugly and it spills over into the language. I agree, we need more concrete actions than just thanking things, but they are not mutually exclusive.
I understand the reason you have described to change religion or become an atheist. But in part of India where I am from, I see people adopting another religion and still taking the cast name with them. They will only allow marriage within "Christian + same cast" people. Even People who have renounced God and become atheist home on to their cast. I guess it is the tribal instincts of human being kicking in.
You seem to have quiet a rosy view of the British class system, but that is not the reality. Money or profession will not just make you higher class here in UK.
Tim tok has no business snooping into by clipboard. It is bad behaviour irrespective of if it was nefarious or not.
No need to justify this by bringing up behaviour of apps.
There is no paranoia. There is no reason for tiktok to access by clipboard and snoop into what I have copied there. It is bad behaviour - nefarious or not.
Just because other apps do that is no excuse for bad behaviour. Almost all apps get flack for bad behaviour. Tiktok is the newest popular thing on the block and it is expected to be widely covered.
Honestly it is okay to discuss the bar behaviours of an app without blaming other apps.
Not all of them reduce to bad programmers. It could be either of malice or stupidity.
In this age when data is valuable, it is better to be safe and assume malice.
