DoubleVerify (NYSE: DV) announced the launch of AI-powered pre-screen content controls on Meta Threads feed. The new capabilities enable advertisers to avoid content they consider unsuitable before ads are served.

The release builds on DoubleVerify's October 2025 expansion of post-bid brand suitability measurement across Meta's Threads feed. The pre-screen controls evaluate content before impressions are transacted, helping advertisers avoid placements that fall below their defined brand suitability thresholds.

"Advertisers expect more control over the environments where their advertising appears," said Mark Zagorski, CEO of DoubleVerify. "With AI-powered content-level controls on Threads, we're helping brands better align ads with content that meets their standards while driving stronger performance and measurable outcomes."

The pre-screen controls automatically identify and avoid content under DoubleVerify's Brand Risk Floor and Brand Suitability Tiers. The company is providing advertisers with 30 additional content-level avoidance categories, including Youth Entertainment and Gambling, enabling more granular control beyond core brand risk and suitability settings.

DoubleVerify's content-level avoidance controls on Threads feed are refreshed automatically on an hourly basis. The release is powered by DoubleVerify Universal Content Intelligence, the company's AI-driven classification engine that analyzes video, image, audio and text signals to deliver content classification across environments.

For video content, DoubleVerify reviews content frame by frame, using key frame extraction to remove redundant visual elements. The brand suitability feature is part of DoubleVerify's Media AdVantage Platform, which combines media verification, ad performance optimization and campaign outcomes measurement.
