From the article cited re “controversial AMP project”:
The company’s [i.e., Google’s] alleged misdeeds seem to be buried high up in the command chain. Those tasked with peddling AMP may have had no knowledge of the alleged anticompetitive practices identified by the DOJ in Google’s internal documents. The WordPress community should continue to be vigilant on behalf of publishers who depend on WordPress to remain an unadulterated advocate for the open web.

I am disturbed that WordPress seems to be coöperating so well with Google, which many of us feel has left “Don’t be evil” behind years ago. I am fortunate in having small sites that do not rely on e-commerce or Internet searches, so I don’t have to worry about Google rankings, but as someone who spends LOTS of time on the ’Net, Google’s dominance really irks me—even as too many of the groups with whom I work insist on using Google drives or suites or whatever they are called now.
