This law was known as the Sedition Act of 1918. This Act was an amendment to the Espionage Act of 1917 passed by President Woodrow Wilson. It terminated the right to present any information that was "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" about the government. This law was later revoked due to the fact that it took away the freedom of speech.
