Classified information, threats, bomb making instructions (borderline), categories of pornography, pirated media, libelous statements, trade secrets. Like I said, we may all agree that those things shouldn't be published--almost the entire world would--but some of them may be legal in some jurisdictions and not others, and there's a whole lot of grey area around the edges.

Classified information is regularly published in the news media, including through Apple News.

Bomb making instructions are available in books on the iTunes Store. https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/u-s-army-special-forces-gui...

In general you can legally publish pretty much anything in the USA besides child porn or copyright infringement, everywhere else has stricter laws though.
