489 | The SCRUM 2: To AMP or Not to AMP, that is the Question | EDGE of the Web

April 4, 2022

Is Google wanting to see a Google-shaped web?

There is a huge debate swirling around the Google AMP over the past 5 years.  Proponents and detractors of the Google-centered mobile framework have positioned themselves with steadfast resolve.  The mobile news visibility on the search engine result pages were exclusively AMP sites until just last year, too much animosity. With the recent unredacted memos found through a recent antitrust lawsuit in Texas revealing inferred manipulation against advertising networks with the AMP framework, there’s a rekindling of the debate.  To AMP or NOT to AMP….that is the question.  And this is The SCRUM!
