When the potential effectuation of a law enacted by Congress or other governmental action, infringes on the right to freedom of speech enumerated in Amendment I, this is known as a prior restraint. Prior restraints essentially are government bans on speech or publication before its actual expression is to occur. Prior restraints are almost always unconstitutional, subject to some narrow exceptions.
