In Brazil, advertisements are a significant part of television culture, with commercial breaks being longer and more frequent than in some other countries. The term 'propaganda' is often used colloquially for advertisements in Brazilian Portuguese, though it technically refers to propaganda. Digital advertising has grown exponentially in Brazil, particularly through social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. In the US, there is significant cultural discussion about advertisement ethics, data privacy, and targeted marketing.
