Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gag orders are commonly used to restrict the publication of news about pretrial hearings and evidence in order to avoid influencing potential jurors and to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial. They are not typically used to prohibit testimony or restrict what can be shown to defense lawyers. The prevention of publication of obscene material depicting bondage may be a legal matter, but it is not typically referred to as a gag order.
