Academia.edu removes the stated cancellation instructions from its EU Terms of Service

The old terms said users could cancel by emailing support or by using their account settings. That sentence has been removed in the new version, and nothing was added in its place in the diff shown. The diff does not show whether cancellation is explained elsewhere.
