 Hey Mel,
 >  which do you think will be better for folks using screen readers here —
 showing a bunch of copy in a list of scrollable containers, or having a
 "read more" link on each container?
 Whichever you choose: the text of the copy button or read more link should
 be unique (you can add the name of the plugin with screen-reader-text).
 Otherwise it's just a bunch of meaningless "copy" and "read more"
 buttons/links in the lists. And the message must be placed somewhere a
 screen reader noticed it before entering the content of the page, because
 this is unexpected behavior form the normal procedure.

 '''From a usability/maintainable point of view, here is my proposal:'''
 Above the title there is an explanation about this page and how it is
 generated.

 In the content area a good default text is added on creation of the page
 (maybe reviewed per country?). Site owners can edit this to their liking.

 At the bottom of the content there will an auto generated list of links,
 to all the Privacy Policy pages of the plugins on their sites. That way
 the page doesn't have to be updated when the plugins update their
 statement. Also: in the construction above content managers can edit the
 policies of the plugins, which may cause problems for the plugins if they
 are altered wrongly. By referring to a page of the plugin, the
 responsibility and text stays with the plugin owner.

 Bonus: it's super accessible and doesn't involve a scrollbar or tons of
 reading from the site owner.
