Prior restraint is forbidden in the US because it violates the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and the press. It allows the government to censor or restrict speech before it is communicated, which is seen as a form of censorship and goes against the principles of a free and democratic society. The US Supreme Court has consistently ruled against prior restraint as it places too much power in the hands of the government to control information and ideas.
