Reviewer considerations

- Context may reduce or increase rating impact.
- Repeated or realistic presentation usually carries more weight.
- Online and user-generated exposure may require extra disclosure.
Developer disclosure requirements
Developers should disclose this descriptor during submission and request reassessment if updates add, remove, or materially change the relevant content.
