Black Mirror: White Christmas (Blocking people IRL)

Brief description

On Christmas Day, Matt and Joe start talking about their past for the first time, after five years that they have been stationed together in a remote cabin. Matt used to help single men seduce women. His clients had optical implants that allowed him to see through their eyes and give them advice in real-time using the "Eye-Link" technology. His main profession, however, was subjugating artificial copies of clients' consciousness, stored into bean-sized chips called "cookies", into docile personal assistants in charge of running smart houses. (Description from Wikipedia.)

In this situation, Joe reveals that after a domestic squabble, his pregnant girlfriend Beth "blocked" him (around 48 minutes into the episode), using a technology that turned them into incomprehensible pixelated blurs to each other.
