My gut says that this is probably not appeasement but a subtle rebellious act. They could have edited the article or geoblocked it just in India, but instead they removed it altogether, adding to the story and ultimatley bringing even more attention to it.

I'd like to believe this is canny use of the Streisand Effect, but in a company as big as Reuters it's more likely to be lawyers.
