What is AMP? AMP is an open-source web component framework aimed at improving the UX of websites, stories, ads and mail. It was first announced by Google in 2015 and has grown considerably since then. But the project has also been subject to a lot of criticism.
AMP threatens the Open Web. For example, Google mobile Search’s Top Stories carousel has a premium position above of all other results, which is only accessible for cached AMP pages. This has the effect of further reinforcing Google’s dominance of the Web.
Other concerns include: the questionable performance boost, the way cached AMP pages keep users in Google's ecosystem, the obscurity of publisher's domains on cached AMP pages, the loss of sovereignty of websites, the lack of functionality and diversity on some AMP pages and of course, privacy concerns.
To sum up, AMP and it's implementation have some major flaws that threaten the Open Web. And as long as that's the case, AmputatorBot will be there to remove AMP from your URLs.
The US is banning TikTok due to fears of interference by the Chinese government. How does this same reasoning not apply to Twitter for every country outside of the US? The US's long history of not interfering in foreign states' politics? (ha)
probably because the US government doesn’t own the majority of Twitter, and US corporate and political governance is still far more trustworthy than the Chinese Communist party.
You really don’t see a difference between the US and China?
US corporate and political governance is still far more trustworthy than the Chinese Communist party
Absolutely not. They have different aims and goals, sure, but Republicans lie as often as the Chinese Communist party because everything they say is a lie. US corporations make up lies that aren't even just twisting reality.
The Chinese Communist party is currently worse because it has full control of the state to enact their lies. That is the only difference right now, but Republicans and their corporate allies are working towards that goal.
"the [German] government … decided to remain for the time being in view of the wide audience that could be reached via its services.“
So this is a big nothingburger?
