AMP must be included in the investigation. Google's latest tactic is the introduction of Signed HTTP Exchanges [1], which still forces publishers to create AMP sites that are delivered from a Google server in order to appear at the top of Google Search results.
Nobody should not be forced to create AMP sites in order to appear at the top of search results.
Mozilla opposes the implementation of the Web Packaging specification [2], which includes Signed HTTP Exchanges, mainly because it can be used to take away control from publishers over the distribution of content.
> The question remains about whether this fundamental change to the way that content is delivered on the web represents a problematic shift in the power balance between actors. We have to consider whether aggregators could use this technology to impose their will on publishers.
If you're from the US, please write to your representatives and let them know about AMP.

- ajaviaad 7y agoThe European Commission found that, since 2008, Google had been altering its search engine results to give priority to its European comparison shopping service - initially ‘Froogle’ and later ‘Google Shopping’ - ahead of other rival shopping businesses. By ranking Google Shopping service ahead of other competitors, Google was able to significantly increase the amount of traffic to the previously ailing service, thereby generating more clicks and revenue. Meanwhile, other companies were bumped down the list and saw traffic levels drop. CNBC
