If only... The article states it's one of four military radio relays along the North-South axis in France, and that launch orders for nuclear weapons could pass through it if used. As such it'd probably be one of the primary targets for anyone who'd like to attack France.

That kind of position probably makes some intelligence officials feel incredibly important if they can find an excuse to demand even relatively trivial information about it deleted.

It's pointless either way. If the intention was to keep the relay station secret, there's no use trying to put worms in back in the can once the information is public. They should relocate it and try better at not spilling the beans next time.

Bit hard to hide a 30 m heavy concrete tower in a country as densely populated as mainland France, especially from people actively looking for it.
