At least one significantly more far-fetched Black Mirror episode has come to life, so I think that adjustment of expectations has already occurred.
- dnautics 5y agoWell to be fair what was happening to Britney in large part preceded the writing of the episode (and IRL there was way less tech involved), so it's uncertain if the black mirror episode took inspiration from real life.
- sellyme 5y agoI was talking about the pig episode.
- dnautics 5y agoCome again? I haven't heard of a leader blackmailed into doing something by dark net agents... Did I miss something?

- sellyme 5y agoA couple of years ago there were allegations that David Cameron had performed sexual acts on a pig as part of a hazing ritual in his school days. There was no compelling evidence, but on account of it being extremely funny (and relatively inconsequential) everyone more or less accepted it as fact.
- dnautics 5y agoSo 1) no tech involved 2) no blackmail involved, 3) no prime minister (at the time of the event in question) involved.
