This episode is about Smithereens, the second episode in season 5 of Black Mirror. The episode features a hostage situation caused in part by social media addiction. Jon and Ted use this episode to discuss the increasingly governmental role played by social media and other large tech companies, and speculate about the future of devolving government duties to private actors. This concludes our coverage of Black Mirror season 5. (We covered the other two episodes, out of order, in the previous two podcasts.)
