* OurClonesAreDifferent: In a rare example of a RecurringElement, "[[Recap/BlackMirrorWhiteChristmas White Christmas]]" introduces the Cookies, a type of digital copy of a person's consciousness. They are [[InhumanableAlienRights denied basic human rights]] and [[FantasticRacism dismissed by humanity as a whole]], to the point where [[WhatMeasureIsANonhuman all sorts of inhumane actions are fully permitted as long as it's a cookie]]. These include blatant slavery, creating a cookie to interrogate them for the original's crime, and forcing them to listen to the same song on repeat ''[[AndIMustScream for 2 million years]]''. A ContinuityNod in "[[Recap/BlackMirrorHatedInTheNation Hated in the Nation]]" shows that they were eventually [[SlaveLiberation given more freedom by the European Court of Human Rights]], though their abuse continues to be a plot point in several episodes. "[[Recap/BlackMirrorUSSCallister USS Callister]]" shows that making a Cookie is [[InstantAIJustAddWater really easy]]. The VillainProtagonist [[CruelPlayerCharacterGod Robert Daly]] can recreate a person from even the tiniest DNA sample, complete with not only their exact likeness but also [[GeneticMemory memories]] too. He uses them to get back at their original human counterparts without any public consequences.
