Gag Order, also known as a judicial order, or a gagging clause, restricts the public or parties involved in a legal proceeding from divulging any information related to the case. There are several synonyms for Gag Order, including confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure orders, injunctions, and suppression orders. These orders are typically enforced by courts and are designed to prevent parties from sharing any information that could influence the outcome of a case. While Gag Order is most commonly associated with legal proceedings, it can also refer to the restriction of free speech by governments or organizations. The use of Gag Orders can be controversial, as they can be seen as limiting transparency and accountability.
