Then google starts promoting AMP websites in their rankings.

I have to wonder if they'd get slapped with anti-competitive monopoly practices if they did this. They have north of 90% of search engine market. That's a higher percentage than Microsoft had of the desktop market in the late 90s/early 2000s, and they got hit from DOJ for monopolistic practices particularly in the browser space.

They already censor, etc. their search results. If it would be illegal for them to directly promote AMP, they could just do like they do with everything else do it indirectly.

Kind of like this tool:

If it's illegal to discriminate against gender, then you can use metrics that fairly accurately predict gender and then use those metrics as your basis for discrimination.
