The Circle:

 The Circle is a very realistic demonstration of what has been happening to our digital data. How are people using it? In what ways are they manipulating data to achieve their political and commercial agendas? Its climax is the most impactful demonstration of speculating what will all this lead to.

“Knowing is good. Knowing everything is better!” In their urge of knowing everything, tables were turned on the agency to go transparent and share their data as a public demand. The agencies have been dealing with the public data very carelessly overtime and have abused it too at certain levels. Doesn’t that pose a threat on them? What will happen if public starts demanding transparency from these agencies? Will they come out clean with all the mess they have been creating?

The concerns that this movie evokes are that of privacy breach, intrusion, absence of a personal space and carelessness in protection of private data.
