Notes and record state

Record note
Launch date is year-level and stored as 2021-01-01 for schema consistency. death_reason is voluntary_shutdown because the operator announced an orderly permanent closure; regulatory change was one stated factor rather than a documented enforcement order. The current redirect or dead-domain state of the original domain is not asserted without a fresh URL verification, so official_url_status remains unknown.
Revision state
Records may be incomplete, approximate, contested, or revised as better evidence becomes available.
This record may be incomplete or revised. Dead-side entries prefer archived URLs over original domains. Dates, causes, and classifications may change when stronger evidence becomes available. Contact / corrections
