The Circle 2017

The premise of the movie is great. I'm watching this for the first time, in the year 2020. Since 2017 (the year this movie was released) there's increasing concern about the overreach these so called, "social media" companies have over people's lives, and the democratic process in general.

Although the ideal would be to regulate these companies, I also like the other extreme this movie's protagonist took. Let's make it mandatory for the Founders/CEOs and Executives of these companies to share all their personal information in the very platform they use to harvest personal information from their fellow citizens for profit. That way, the tax payers won't have to foot the bill of regulating this new tobacco industry of the 21st century.
