I honestly see a successful AMP as the end of the web as we know it--there's no way for us to know if the content isn't censored by Google. I'm certain their plan is to sell their hosting service and show providers that they could use Google services. What's the logical next step?

Is there any way to tell.that the content of an HTML page isn't censored by the hosting provider used by the page owner, or by the browser vendor?

Doesn't seem AMP adds anything to that. Sure, you can't know, in theory, that the host (which may not be Google, Microsoft and others run AMP hosts) has censored it, but what does that actually change vs. HTML?

Whoever owns the server can serve you whatever content the want. They can change it even, depending on the user.
