Why Is Ecuador Afraid of Hillary Clinton?

Whistleblowing site WikiLeaks has confirmed it was Ecuador that cut off Julian Assange’s internet access on Saturday after another batch of leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair was released. WikiLeaks did not elaborate on the grounds for Ecuador’s London embassy, where Assange has spent more than four years after being granted asylum over fears of persecution over his publications, to restrict the whistleblower’s web access.

  RT
Maybe they have reason to be afraid of Hillary. Maybe they are making a statement about Trump. Or maybe they figure they've gone as far as they dare against US desires by housing Assange.

Or maybe it's Goldman Sachs they don't want to displease
[Wikileaks] tweeted that the internet was shut “5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs [speeches].”
....but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 10/20:

The reason: "Quiet pressure from the U.S. government."
