LOS ANGELES, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zefr, the global leader in brand suitability technology for social platforms, in partnership with TikTok announced today the global availability of Exclusion Lists for TikTok, powering the industry's most advanced AI-driven suitability controls on the platform. Through end-to-end, full loop protection, daily updates, and an expanded and customizable blocking taxonomy, Zefr's suitability solutions for TikTok help brands stay ahead of shifting content risks in real time.

TikTok's Video Exclusion Lists and Profile Feed Exclusion Lists give advertisers more control over where their ads appear. Zefr layers on real-time, AI-driven exclusion capabilities, ensuring precision, scale and adaptability as trends evolve.

Why it Matters:

  • Full Loop Protection – Real-time suitability enforcement across campaigns, ensuring ongoing precision beyond static blocklists.
  • Daily Updates – AI continuously scans and refines exclusion parameters, keeping brands protected as new content emerges.
  • An Expanded Customizable Taxonomy, Built for Brands – A granular, always-evolving suitability framework that surpasses industry defaults for more precise control, including the ability to block industry specific sensitivities, brand specific needs, or breaking news events such as regional or global crises in real-time.
  • Gain Complete Content Transparency – Access detailed reporting insights through Zefr's UI, Atrium, including trending concepts in your blocklist and a clear view into the content you were protected from.

"Brands need controls that move as fast as social media does," said Richard Raddon, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Zefr. "TikTok's Exclusion Lists put more power in advertisers' hands, and with Zefr's AI, those exclusions aren't just static filters—they're intelligent, adaptable, and built for scale."

A New Era for Brand Suitability

The Video Exclusion List and Profile Feed Exclusion List solutions will be available globally across all TikTok markets where TikTok Inventory Filter is supported starting now. Brands can activate them directly in TikTok Ads Manager, or work with Zefr for enterprise-level protection. Future iterations of the Profile Feed Exclusion List will also include third-party partner management capabilities, with Zefr playing a pivotal role in optimizing brand safety and suitability for advertisers on the TikTok platform.
