What changed, in plain language

The only change is an updated link code behind the obfuscated "legal" email address on the copyright-complaint contact block. Nothing about your rights, data, or obligations changed.

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

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDContact email link code refreshed

    PLOS uses a scrambled link to hide its legal contact email from spam bots. That scrambled code was regenerated, so the link text changed. The address it points to and everything else in the contact section stayed the same.
