The three major reasons were this incident that hit the papers where a guy and a girl met IRL having supposedly chatted on it. She was then killed by this guy.
2. In the aftermath of the 9/11 enquiry, it was determined that much of the supposed communication between terror-cells was by way of users being anonymous on social-media websites and passing information undetected that way.
Laws were subsequently changed so that you can no longer be anonymous. Every site you now visit requires a registered E-Mail account.
Thus you have an Internet footprint that can be traced.
E.P was asked to supply a list of it's users complete with ISP addresses and E-Mail account details.
They refused. On the grounds that (in their words) it wasn't their info. to give !
They were told "Do it or we shut you down !"......they refused, it was closed down.
3. The third reason was funding.
Tough time trying to attract advertisers and insufficient revenue streaming.

@Picklebobble2 I call bullshit on the first and second one. If the second one was true, then this site couldn’t operate either

@Deadcutie Well, the first one doesn't make much sense to me either.
Aside from all the 'Why in the hell would you do that ?" Stuff.
However I was shown newspaper coverage of the story by somebody, and i did research the paper itself which was genuine.
Of course. If you want to stomp on people's Internet freedoms, makes it easier if you can show or 'create' a reason for doing so !

The 9/11 commissions report DID call for the end of Net neutrality. So that IS fact.

This site is NOT anonymous is it !
That's what makes me laugh about all the pervs and fetishists !!
If there is a security agency monitoring all traffic from ISP/E-Mail servers, THEIR details will be logged and filed under their real names !

@Picklebobble2 the murder happened, I’m not saying that’s bullshit, I looked up her autopsy and confirmed that, what’s bullshit is that it’s a cause of the site being shut down..

@Picklebobble2 I can be fully anonymous if I wished.. all you need is a vpn and or proxy. Email is a joke.. I’m using a fake email account here

@Deadcutie You're kidding yourself.
Anonymity doesn't exist however much you might like to hope otherwise !
If you created your fake e-mail on your phone or your PC or even at a random Internet cafe. Your data. Your ISP. Nearest server. He'll, if you're daft enough to use Google, they even have keystroke recognition systems in place ! They and Amazon and Facebook will know every device you use !!!

@Picklebobble2 I think you’re giving the government way to much credit
