The Circle (2017) " Secrets are lies. Sharing is caring. Privacy is theft."
Plot Synopsis: When Mae is hired to work for the world's largest and most powerful tech and social media company, she sees it as an opportunity of a lifetime. As she rises through the ranks, she is encouraged by the company's founder, Eamon Bailey, to engage in a groundbreaking experiment that pushes the boundaries of privacy, ethics and ultimately her personal freedom.

The Circle, featuring Emma Watson and Tom Hanks explores a part of our Society that we are just starting to scratch the surface of in terms of understanding the true value of privacy. We are also beginning to see how so many people throw their privacy to the wind without a care to the world. The Circle directly goes into the idea of the power of information and data. In our ever changing world that shows how data can be weaponized by politicians as well as corporations - This film study will help you explore the deeper aspects of the film.
It's often been said that privacy doesn't exist anymore. That's not true. But what is true is that a massive number of things that could be considered private 20 years ago no longer are. Often, we have no one to blame other than ourselves.
Privacy is a fundamental right of every Canadian. Such as with section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom which protects privacy from unreasonable searches and seizures. In addition, the federal Privacy Act provides a high level of protection against the disclosure of personal information.
Like I said above, most of our lack of privacy comes from our own doing. But, how does social media play a role in our privacy?
After watching the film "The Circle", and the following youtube videos I want you to consider the question "Does privacy still exist?"
