Well... Samsung probably put a lot of pressure on the supplier of the phone. That supplier then (probably) begged ifixit to take down the article.

Both the supplier and ifixit acted against their own original intentions only because Samsung told them to. I'd say that qualifies as "forced".

To clarify: Samsung didn't directly force ifixit to take the article down. It was apparently a case of "do as I say or I'll shoot the bunny!" (the bunny being the supplier).

Still "forced".
