What changed, in plain language

The only change is a rewritten link for PLOS's copyright-complaint email address. The address is hidden behind Cloudflare's email-protection encoding, and the encoded string was regenerated. Nothing about your rights, data, or obligations changed.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDCopyright contact email link re-encoded

    The legal contact email in the copyright-complaint section is scrambled by Cloudflare to hide it from spam bots. That scrambled code was regenerated, so the link text changed even though it points to the same kind of contact. No wording, address, or phone number changed.
