Government Shutdown

On August 8th, 2012, link-removed was shutdown by local Ukranian authorities belonging to an Anti-Cybercrime & Research Affairs unit located in the city capital of Kiev. Authorities did not seize any hardware, but copied and sealed data from server equipment, forcing link-removed's longtime service provider named ColoCall to permanently terminate services with link-removed.[27] [28]
