[Black Mirror] How long until the government realizes that "blocking" is stupidly dangerous?

Wouldn't blocking increase the murder rate?

In an emotionally-charged argument, blocking someone will surely anger them more.

If you block someone during a violent argument, they can still hurt you. They can still touch you.

However, you can't hear what they are saying, you can't see their faces and know what they are looking at, you don't know what they are planning.

Also, they can't see you, and they can hurt you with no guilt because you are no longer a person, you are a faceless white blob, and your pleas for mercy will literally go unheard.

How long until the government decides that the risks of blocking aren't worth the nebulous "benefits"?

Another question is also raised, isn't being put on "the list" and being blocked by everyone effectively a death sentence?  How would someone who is blocked by everyone ever buy food?  Hold a job?  Receive medical care? Etc.  Not just because of the stigma, but because you literally couldn't communicate with anyone.
