Surveillance and consent – In promotion of corporate and societal values of transparency and shared disclosure, the company in The Circle introduces a service where tiny cameras are embedded everywhere out in the world. As above, the tension between personal privacy and public disclosure is a delicate balance which must be worked thoughtfully. Also, going too far in claiming transparency on a personal level can be too much of a good thing. However, the admirable mission of transparency is subject to subversion, as The Circle Claims of public transparency can be selective, creating an impression of a company that values openness and progressive values when in reality it is picking and choosing disclosures while hiding malfeasance and abuse behind this self-selected façade. Clear and public disclosure of organizational activities and values provide strong incentives for making the best ethical decisions and keeping integrity in mind when planning business strategy. Transparency overload – It’s easy to agree that transparency and openness encourages honesty and communication. The dilemma of which takes precedence will be an on-going and dominant moral dilemma. The tension between liberty and safety is not an unfamiliar one in society. Individuals giving up their expectations of privacy would supposedly lead to greater overall security and trust. Privacy enables people to lie and conceal, and therefore leads to misconduct and distrust. Disclosure, on the other hand, is the ultimate truthfulness and in this perspective, is valued over privacy. Therefore, the suggestion is that secrecy is a form of dishonesty. Secrecy as dishonesty – One of the central philosophical proclamations of The Circle is when the protagonist, Mae, is confronted with a legal transgression she committed and in her reckoning with her actions states, “Secrets are lies.” Mae’s central thesis is that she would not have committed her crime if someone had been watching or aware of what she was doing. At its core The Circle is concerned with overreach of these technologies and the companies that develop and market them, and the ethical problems and moral challenges that can arise from human and societal interaction with them. 
While the high-tech immersion depicted in The Circle is not yet current reality, technology is developing at a breakneck pace and social media platforms, the Internet of the Things, and services driven by algorithms and other artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly ubiquitous with each passing day.
