The story here is that Apple is censoring what you can watch on this device and even what websites you can go to.

No, the article makes it clear that you can visit whatever website you want.

The "issue" is that the current version of Safari on Apple's Vision OS won't take "180-degree side-by-side" video - which has different channels for the left and right eye - and play it back with just the left channel going to the left eye, and the right channel going to the right eye.

Instead it shows a single flat video window with the right and left channels shown in each respective half of the window.

This 180-degree SBS style of filming is how most commercial VR videos are made - from YouTube to YouPorn.

I see what you mean. The article used the phrase “X-rated guardrails,” which made it sound like it was censoring by type of content.

I don’t know much about VR headsets. You mentioned that “180-degree SBS style of filming is how most commercial VR videos are made,” so why did Apple choose not to support it?
