"Chilling Effect", now that's good epiphenomena. By that, I suppose I mean that "chilling effect" is more general than a simple gag or restraining order, it aims to inhibit or dissuade behavior. The content of chilling seems to live in the question of "why should a legal system dissuade or inhibit legal actions"? My first impression is that such a need arises in any legal system that is ultimately too rigid and unwieldy (or too ill-founded) to rigorously target the subject of its domain. So, probably, every non-trivial legal system.
On the one hand, "chilling" seems a natural choice for better fitting the letter of the law to its "spirit", but doing so also creates a lever connecting goals to functions (a la' Charles and Thompson): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect#:~:text=13%5D%5Bfailed%20verification%5D-,Chilling%20effects%20on%20Wikipedia%20users,-%5Bedit%5D
