On 17 November 2016, 12 servers were seized from the internet service provider OVH in the north of France.[4][16] Shortly afterwards, the site announced their closure on both the index page and Twitter, saying "Due to some recent events, What.CD is shutting down. We are not likely to return any time soon in our current form. All site and user data has been destroyed. So long, and thanks for all the fish.", the last line being a quote from the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The site's Twitter account later posted the tweet "Reports of our database being seized are not factual".[17]
On 18 November 2016, What.CD issued a statement regarding its shutdown, claiming that its users and staff are safe, thanking all contributors, and recommending that donations go to Internet Archive, Electronic Frontier Foundation, La Quadrature du Net and Initiative für Netzfreiheit.[18]
