"We're changing this to comply with a court order / settlement." seems fine to me. I don't think anyone would be angry at them, since they didn't want to do the change nor would be "lying" to users about why they do it.

It's probably as banal as trying to limit future lawsuits by restricting publicity on successful past ones.
