"The Circle"

"The Circle" is a book written by Dave Eggers in 2013. It´s about a company just like Google or facebook. They create very interesting programs which are propably dangerous for private data. 
For example the program called "PastPerfect"


For this program they collect every picture, every newsreel and digitze them so that they have a large archives. 
In this archive can somebody look for a photo of his familiy
or something else, by using the DNA. 


Now I want to work out what would be if "The Circle" really exists:
I think it would be very disscussed. On the one hand you
like it to search easily for information of your ancestors or your far away living sister, but on the other hand the pictures could be seen by everyone. All taken photes are saved in a foreign 
archive, and that´s very strange.

To safe private data is important and should not be neglected, because otherwise nobody determine himself or herself what someone else can see about him/her.
