Why libel law and censorship considered threats to our civil liberties

Answer:

Rather than take that risk, the press would self-censor: no overt laws were necessary; one only needed the threat of a libel suit to control the information to which people had access.Since then, and mostly because the bar for libel cases is so high, the freedom of the press has been mostly guaranteed in law.
