The advertising-based model is fundamental to the digital economy in both Brazil and the USA, powering major tech platforms like Google, Facebook, and YouTube. In Brazil, this model became particularly dominant with the growth of internet penetration and mobile adoption in the 2010s. The phrase 'se você não está pagando pelo produto, você é o produto' (if you're not paying for the product, you are the product) is a common expression reflecting growing awareness about data monetization in Brazilian tech circles. This model contrasts with European approaches that often emphasize stronger data protection regulations (GDPR).
