Ah, forgot to include that Voat was earlier shut down by their hosting provider (hosted in Europe) due to the nature of their content: https://voat.co/v/announcements/comments/146757/

They switched to a cloud provider to fix it in the short term.

Where does law enforcement come into it, then? I'm missing any involvement, so far everything appears to be private parties that don't want to associate with them.

That is because voat.co has porn like Reddit does and most hosting providers do not allow that.
