AMP documents don't share user data with Google, which can be trivially seen by inspecting the network events that the page generates. If the publisher chooses, they can send logging to Google Analytics, but this is not part of AMP. The typical argument otherwise is that the AMP javascript is loaded from Google's cache, however these javascript resources allow for a very long cache lifetime (1yr if the page came from the Google Cache), so relatively few page loads will actually end up fetching them from the network for most users. Edit: These resources are also on cookieless domains.

Christ this is thin as a privacy argument.

> AMP documents don’t share user data with Google They might not now, but could ‘t Google start creating unique URLs on each page, allowing them to track you that way?

  No, if Google can change the way web works from day one they can change anything they want. Don't forget Google is killing imap and dns already. Why not http to?

    Also, Google explicitly states that it is collecting data in AMP Viewer [1]: > The Google AMP Viewer is a hybrid environment where you can collect data about the user. Data collection by Google is governed by Google’s privacy policy. I assume they collect information from HTTP request the browser sends when requesting an AMP page.
