ÌÇÐÄVlog

Not available on iOS 14 public beta 1, 13.6 only so far.  Maybe next round...

the new content includes coverage of topics most important to local communities, such as sports, dining and restaurants, weather, news and politics, and more.

let me fix that:

the new content includes coverage of topics regarded by the editors at Apple what they believe should be allowed to be reported to local communities, such as sports, dining and restaurants, weather, news and politics, and more.

Apple should not be in the business of filtering news.

Apart from introducing their own biases, it’s a game that they can never properly implement, leading them to be in the wrong no matter what it does. Facebook et al argue they aren’t publishers to get around this. Apple is making itself one.

How about fixing the search function in the ÌÇÐÄVlog app which is currently useless and UI wise a disaster. Also, some images, graphics work with pinch to zoom, but some do not. Most notably, Apple's own color-coded COVID-19 map is not zoomable.

I agree with what you’re saying, but at the same time every news outlet in America is guilty of filtering the news. They are all picking and choosing what to report to support their own bias.

They're not a publisher, they're an aggregator. Where's the evidence they're censoring news stories beyond blocking content that violates their usual TOS (adult content, etc)?
