Have you ever discussed a product with a friend, then opened social media and seen an advertisement for that very thing? What happens when the conversation took place during an ordinary phone call—or in person, with your smartphone nearby? In this episode of Puerto Rico Open Your Eyes , Edwin Ortiz reflects on digital privacy, targeted advertising, and the uneasy feeling that our private lives may be more exposed than we realize. Drawing on academic research, FTC findings, and investigations into government access to commercial data, we explore what is documented, what remains uncertain, and why these questions matter for everyday life and peaceful political participation.
