Hi Inessa, As discussed in the forum post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/j2E6iS6dud8> you have provided, exclusion of placements in a campaign level is not possible. You may refer to this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/criteria-usage> for more details. If you would like to opt out of a particular Platform, you need to set the bidModifier to 0.0 for that specific criteria.
