Prior restraint refers to a court order preventing material from being published or broadcasted before it is made available to the public. It is a form of censorship that is only allowed in very limited circumstances, such as protecting national security or preventing immediate harm to individuals. Option A (judicial censorship) and option B (cease and desist) are not accurate legal terms. Option D (judicial discretion) refers to a judge's ability to make decisions based on their own judgment, but it does not relate to publication restrictions. Option E (libel diversion) is not a recognized legal term.
