** Could also be seen as the live action adaptation of ''Anime/No6'' due to the anime's similar concept of government controlled parasitic wasps.
* StrawmanHasAPoint: One of the reasons why Jo Powers bashes Gwen Marbury is that Marbury killed herself in full view of a group of schoolchildren, for whom this must have been a horrifying experience along with injuring officers who tried to help extinguish her. As vindictive as her tone and intentions are, that specific point is hard to argue against.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: One of the reasons why Jo Powers bashes Gwen Marbury is that Marbury killed herself in full view of a group of schoolchildren, for whom this must have been a horrifying experience along with injuring officers who tried to help extinguish her. As needlessly vindictive as her tone and intentions are, that specific point is hard to argue against.

* MisaimedFandom: The #[=DeathTo=] [[https://twitter.com/hashtag/deathto?src=hash hashtag on Twitter]] has a large number of people invoking it towards public figures they dislike. It leaves one to wonder if any of these people actually watched the whole episode. Netflix themselves seems to be [[MemeAcknowledgement aware]] of [[https://twitter.com/blackmirror/status/793931678389587969 this]].

* WhatAnIdiot:
** '''You'd expect''': The idea of contacting Twitter and asking them to block the hashtag would have come up.
** '''Instead''': Nobody even considers it.

** Even after it's established that [=ADIs=] use facial recognition, no one attempts to wear sunglasses or masks. Or dump their phones and get as far away from any windows.
** You'd think the idea of contacting Twitter and asking them to block the hashtag would have come up. But nobody even considers it.
** Since the [=ADIs=] are government controlled, shouldn't there be a mass kill switch or ability to shut them down on the off chance they get hacked.
*** They clearly establish that it would be possible to shut the entire ADI population off from the master controls at Granular. At first, they're hesitant to do so, because killing all of them would be environmentally devastating. Then, later, [[spoiler: the hacker locks them out of the system entirely, so they can't access the shutdown protocol. Finally, at the end of the episode, when they think they've regained control, we discover the hacker had already anticipated that they would--indeed, it was part of his plan all along--so it's safe to assume that they would once again be locked out of shutting them off.]]

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The episode isn't exactly subtle about the cruelty disguised as righteousness that is mass online [[ShamedByAMob shaming]]. Even if the [[AssholeVictim target of the outrage has done something obnoxious,]] the DisproportionateRetribution they face makes us empathize with them and makes us think twice about mindlessly joining the outrage bandwagon, because there's a living, breathing human being on the other side of the screen.

* HarsherInHindsight: This whole episode is a vicious commentary on {{GIFT}} culture the Internet has going on, that how death threats and hatred can personally affect their targets, even if it's behind a screen. Just a year later, in ''Series/GameOfThrones'', Blue's actress Faye Marsay, who plays The Waif, got some serious messages on the Internet due to the HateSink she was supposed to be on the show, [[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a811141/game-of-thrones-actress-faye-marsay-quits-social-media-after-abuse/ which forced her to quit social media]], as the Internet failed to separate her character and her real life out of it.
