There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

I think if that was the case it would affect all the host not just a specific one.
I also don't think it's copyright related. PLEX server are small communities, family & friends and not some open tracker.
And I don't think Hetzner started illegally snooping around in their customers stored data and complaining to the PLEX developer about it. PLEX themselves? They could close all servers if they started snooping around what the users have. And no other party can see what media is on there.
I think there is some other reason but no clue what.
Hetzner running some diagnostics and seeing high traffic and storage? Then they would probably just inform their customers themselves and not via PLEX.
I hope we get more information in the next few days.
Possibly plex has received cease and desist regarding content hosted by that service.
That would go the host, not Plex.
