The Terms of serviceCircle'spremise is darkly obvious -- the trailers alone are overt PSAs for the evils of social media. So is anyone surprised that things took an awkward turn when the film's freethinking cast did a live Q&A at Twitter with C.E.O. Jack Dorsey?

There was no way this did notend with Emma Watson, Tom Hanks, Patton Oswalt and director James Ponsoldt accidentally roasting Dorsey as he silently fidgeted and fumed. The Circlecomes out this weekend and hasn't screened for critics yet, but it's already distributing great, shareable #content.

Dorsey introduces the segment that streamed live Monday at 2 p.m. ET, but it doesn't take long for the Circle team to take over moderating while @Jack sits by in ornamental silence.

Deep into the conversation, Oswalt begins to pose to Dorsey a question ... that then spirals out into a long-winded lament of anonymous trolls, declining personal privacy and our fast-evaporating attention spans. Basically all of the sore spots for Twitter.

The more Oswalt tried to soften it, the worse things got. And the look on Dorsey's face was pure glory.

"There is a section of the population that is way more comfortable not talking to people face-to-face," Oswalt said, adding that social media "disconnects people from a lot of the consequences and effects of what they are doing, and it can lead to some pretty harmful actions taking place because it doesn't feel like it's being done to a real person."

Moments later, Oswalt tries to pull out of the dive -- by foretelling Twitter's demise.

"In 10 years, are there going to be people that are so burned out by this that there will be some kind of mass retreat?" Oswalt asked.

Dorsey, bound by his apparent vow of silence for the bulk of this segment, said nothing. Ponsoldt tried to bring it back, but it was no use. The bird was out of the bag.

Hanks certainly wasn't helping. While vamping for several minutes about the film, Hanks -- who obviously plays the villain in The Circle-- playfully points out that his character has the beard of "a diabolical genius." Just like Dorsey's!

Then the light bulb comes on: "I played you!" Hanks exclaims.

The ensemble (minus John Boyega) did their best not to drown in irony as they connected The Circle's ubiquitous surveillance to 1984 and The Matrix,then backpedaled wildly, and capped it with a "good things about social media!" Band-Aid.

The Circle releases in theaters April 28. Twitter, on the other hand, is always on.
