That Black Mirror special was nicely written in the way the stories all came together (and the cabin scenes were really good), but it was as poor science-fiction as always — not fully considering the implications of the universe it has constructed, or the way people actually behave in real life.
I hate to be Comic Book Nerd, pointing out logical flaws in the kind of science-fiction that doesn’t care about them, but it will make me feel better to put them down to virtual paper, and it doesn’t matter because no one reads this anyway: First, being blocked wouldn’t prevent him from going to a judge and asking for a DNA test. Second, the very existence of cookies relies on them not being considered as persons, and that means what comes out of them can’t possibly be admissible in court.
