Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Peter Quadrel first reported that advertisers were removing granular placement exclusions from ad sets and steering hard exclusions toward account-level Placement Controls, with value rules available for softer bid adjustments. Social Media Today later reported the same direction as part of Meta's wider automation push.

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means placement governance may become account-wide, so export current settings and map which exclusions must be universal before the old controls disappear.
