The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a review request regarding the SEC's now-abolished "gag rule."

Odaily reported that the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to review the constitutionality of an already abolished policy of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The policy required individuals and companies that reached enforcement settlements with the SEC not to publicly criticize or question the allegations raised by the Wall Street regulator. The U.S. Supreme Court justices dismissed the challenge over whether the SEC's so-called "gag rule" violated individual constitutional rights, without providing any explanation on Monday. (Jinshi)
