          AMP does little more than reinforce the existing structural inequalities between publications and the benefits it gives publishers is entirely dependent on Google's continued support via providing a cache.

        At the end of the day AMP is about making Google-administered AMP a standard, instead of the community administered standards. This is about giving Google more control Chronotope/976093665004269568?s=19

      Remember that general acceptance of AMP is what is telling Google that it can get away with this bullshit: wired.com/story/google-wants-to-kill-the-url/

    Further obscuring the identity of websites will only make fraud easier, identifying bad actors harder, & distinguishing between things like AMPed content and standard content harder. It is 100% a play that would benefit Google financially, disproportionate to the rest of the web.

      What websites need are *stronger* identities. Clearer highlighting of URLs and base domains. Google's inability to see this is a structural bias and why they shouldn't be trusted to set this agenda. A better web would have the browser bolding the base domain, not obscuring it.

        So many bad actors *do* take advantage of confusion around URL schemes, but the solution is to strengthen the ID not alter the entire means of identity.
