Prior restraint is when the government tells someone they can't publish something. It's generally seen as a violation of the First Amendment.





Generally when prior restraint is attempted, it's in the name of national security. But even then, it usually fails. A famous example was the Pentagon Papers, which the New York Times was enjoined from printing in 1971. The Supreme Court ruled that the Times could not be prevented from running the story.





The Supreme Court tends to look at prior restraint as an unreasonable and unconstitutional attempt by the government to muzzle the press.
