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]
