Black Mirror: What is the message?

Black Mirror has many messages but it definitely shows how society is being based through desensitisation of content. Nowadays there is less privacy and less censorship so that means that audience are loosing their values and their ability to interact with others through sites such as Twitter. Using Twitter, means that people can use it to spread information quickly but this also lacks censorship because as soon as something is on the internet it can be spread instantly. We are now living in adystopia due to technology instead of utopia. New and digital media is now taking over traditional media through the use of smart phones, interactivity of social networking and UGC. Moreover it presents political affairs in a satire way to show the debasing of society who only watched the events that mock people or entertain themselves. It also shows the strong belief that society has on Rolling 24 hour news to present the real news , as internet news could be untrue and false rumours therefore many rely on broadcasting services to present the truth.
