>It helps websites be absorbed by Google so that Google can retain the user on their site

Does it also keep every cookie on a page 1st party to Google, so they don't have (m)any more GDPR-type blockers?

Are you trying to point this out as being a good thing? I don’t know the answer because I don’t click AMP links, but I don’t have a problem with GDPR nonsense anyway because I’m not in Europe.

No, I'm not. What gives you that impression?

you still have to comply with the GDPR. if not, you can be detained if (e.g.) your plane makes an unwanted stop in the EU. (this assumes, EU brought a GDPR complaint against you or your company and you bothered to not respond)
