Google no longer providing original URL in AMP for image search results

What is stored in your cache was loaded from their servers when you originally visited. Also, you can clear your cache at any time you choose to re-fetch the original content from the provider.

Also, a provider uses a CDN at their discretion. Giving them the ability to invalidate or update cached records at times of their choosing. Or remove the CDN entirely if they choose to.

This is Google using their weight to be anti-competitive and fall further down the anti-trust rabbit hole.

A provider uses a CDN at their discretion, but it's totally legitimate to have a client-site cache as well. If I've got 20 users going through a squid proxy to get to the internet, that's something the provider has to live with. Not to diminish your core point, which I think is correct, but there are limits on what providers should be able to expect.

I sort of agree with you, but robots.txt is a thing.

I know it seems impossible but nobody has to use Google.

Are there any copyright implications of amp? They're essentially republishing your property.

Does the original publisher get their ad revenue?
