The reason the court can make a judgement that gags people not involved is simply because that's what the law says. The law says there is such a thing as name suppression where no one can tell others, and it gets invoked by a judge saying so. That's all there is to it.

The same way you have to pay taxes even though you were never involved in that decision.
