I don't see how this is in violation of 3.1.2 [0].

There is no mention of "you must include how to cancel" (it does say you can cancel at any time), and I don't see anything else Apple may be violating.

The Privacy Policy requirement in 5.1.1 [1] already doesn't apply to Apple's apps since the News+ subscription is tied to your Apple ID, so you have already accepted Apple's privacy policy.

3.1.2 (a) last point refers to Auto Renewing Subscriptions. It refers to this URL: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/subscriptions/ Even the examples in URL shows information about cancel and auto renew description. (You can see a wall of text under the buttons).

Many apps were rejected due to same missing that wall of text.
