Google's Blogger Censor May Be Coming To Your Neighbourhood Soon
Posted on 1:01 AM by Unknown
Google's Blogger has started redirecting users to country-specific domain names — think Google.fr in France rather than Google.com — to avoid universally removing content that would not be tolerated in specific jurisdictions.
A Blogger support post, "Why does my blog redirect to a country-specific URL?," , explains that Google is using the method to limit the impact of censored content.
Readers will be redirected to sites with their own country's domain name when they try to visit blogs recognized as foreign, as determined by their IP addresses.
Here's a list of the domains where you are redirected

- Yes you will access to the same content as long as the country you are in will not be censoring our content although we have added extra settings in our template for you to stay at http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com , no matter where you are.
