Some people don’t seem to realize that Black Mirror is not a deep exploration of how far technology can go, but a deep exploration of how far the writers’ anxiety and pessimism can go.

I’d argue the tech is never the problem - it’s always “how can a bad corporation/government make this neat idea a dystopian nightmare?”

If it’s built it will be used for evil. It’s simple. That’s why so many people insist on trying to make sure certain things aren’t built.
