#2I think a large portion of the tech industry understands Google AMP is an undeniable threat to the open web. The question is: Is there anything that can be done to stop it?

#3I attempted to discuss related issues regarding AMP Email with @cramforce, the AMP tech lead, here: https://github.com/ampproject/amphtml/issues/13457#issuecomm...
The discussion, if nothing else, sheds some degree of light on how the AMP tech lead sees the situation.

#4Welcome to internet hub 85.* Lighting access to the world's information.
* additional charges occur when accessing information outside from the Internet hub.
Internet hub only allows storing of information which the government approves. Storing unauthorised information on the internet hub will result in your biometric account being banned for life. Access to the rest of the internet is not affected.

#5I think it's very important to address the reason why AMP is possible in the first place: Websites are so extremely slow these days.
From users perspective, when I see the lightning icon on my search results I feel happy because it means that the page will show me it's contents as soon as I click it.
It means that the website is not going to show me white page for 15 seconds then start jumping around, changing shape and position for another 30 seconds until everything is downloaded.
I hear all the ethical/economical/strategic concerns but the tech community resembles the taxi industry a bit, that is, claiming that a tech that improves users experience significantly is bad for the user and must be stopped politically instead of addressing the UX issue that allows this tech to exist in first place.

#7The title and article feels like hyperbole:
As user, I love AMP. It is much faster and lighter. God knows what javascript is running behind those websites that drives my CPU usage to 100%.

#8Genuine question: Why do people view AMP as a threat, whereas many Apple's formats/compatibility are non-standard? Is it because many accept privacy over openness?
Example: Apple news or iTunes or Messages

My guess is that they are separate services which have always been that way and people can choose not to use them from the beginning.
Amp is different in that it sits in front of a lot of websites which used to work directly, it’s apples and oranges.
iTunes didn’t take over any existing service or stop you from doing something you could before on the web

Yes, use a different search engine.
