The dispute started in secret, when a UK soccer star obtained a so-called “super injunction,” preventing the British media from naming him as the person who had an affair with a reality-TV contestant.
Under UK law, the media can’t even report on the injunction itself. Such prior restraints on the media are not allowed in the U.S., absent a showing of a compelling reason like national security.
