The message of the Black Mirror is that internet has such power that no one can control it. Things go viral in seconds. For example that video of the girl was on Youtube for 9 minutes and in them 9 minutes it had 50,000 views. This shows how many people are getting information as quick as a click. The reason for the video getting so many views is because people don't have to log in on to their computer just to watch what is happening. They carry everything in their pocket, in other words a smart phone.
A smart phone is the source which allows people to get information in seconds and it is all updated information. One example of where in the show, the mum goes to her kid saying the kidnapper probably wanted money and then the kid says no mum, they want him to do a pig. This shows that the young kid has updated information as they interact online and as they are getting updated information every minute, he knew everything about the story.
The audience have been desensitisation, they are not shocked about what is happening around them. The reason why they are not shocked is because pornography is so easy to access now for anyone, that it has gone just an ordinary thing. Many people just find it general now because they can easily access it online. Most of it is normally free which is why people find it very common now.
