So the decision on what apps can be domain fronted because they need to get around censorship lies with Google or another big company, what could go wrong here?

I mean the entire trick to domain fronting is that some large company, whose site no country would dare censor, offers up their infrastructure as a front.

Who else do you think should decide who gets to host content through Google's servers?

> whose site no country would dare censor

Google is not accessible to about 1.4 billion people because the single government of China "dares" to censor Google. That's close to 20% of the world's population.

I don't think companies nor governments should get to decide this at all. Information wants to/should be free.
