There's also voluntary prior restraint where a publisher decides not to publish because the effects of publication don't outweigh getting shutdown under the burden of huge legal fees.

You don't seem to understand how this works. You try to publish they shut you down and put you in prison and your story still didn't see daylight you're just some dude in prison likely in solitary.
