The message of Black Mirror: The National Anthem is that new and digital media has had a huge impact on society and therefore people look at certain things in a different way than they once did. Also, the fact that people are use to instant news and instant access to information means that the media and news must update their news hourly and must be keeping up to date, to the minute in order for them to stay in competition with social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The keyword viral is important in the short film as it represents the fact that once something is put on the web, it can be access elsewhere even if it is taken down due to social media and the vast amount of people on the internet. The event took place on YouTube and despite it being taken down 9 minutes later, it went viral which meant that everyone soon found out in a matter of minutes. The government have no control over this and therefore they cannot stop this from becoming a national threat.
Despite you deleting or taking down a video or piece of information on YouTube; or on the internet in general; there could be many copies of this still out there without you even knowing.
Key terms:
