Explanation:

The case called Joseph Burstyn, Inc. v. Wilson, 343 U.S. 495 (1952), was a landmark United States Supreme Court decision that helped to assure less censorship of the movie industry in the United States. This ruling determined that a New York education law that allowed censorship of a motion picture film was a "restraint on freedom of speech." This would make such efforts of censorship a violation of the First Amendment. This was a landmark case because previously SCOTUS had made a decision in the Mutual Film Corporation v. Industrial Commission of Ohio case where movies were not considered a form of speech worthy of First Amendment protection because they were commercial or for business purposes.
