Prior restraint refers to the government's ability to prevent the publication of information before it is disseminated. American courts are very hesitant to allow prior restraint, meaning that it is difficult for the government to censor or suppress material before it is published. This is because the First Amendment to the US Constitution protects freedom of the press and prohibits the government from abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. While there are some limits to press freedom (e.g. libel laws), these limits are generally applied post-publication. Likewise, while the government can detain reporters in certain circumstances (e.g. for refusing to reveal sources), this is not the same as censorship or prior restraint. Finally, while there is some regulation of the press in the US, particularly with regard to ownership concentration, this is not as extensive as it is in some other countries.
