The website address of a blog you read may redirect to a country-specific domain (for example: from [blogname].blogspot.com to [blogname].blogspot.com.au).
This update is in line with Google’s approach to free expression and controversial content.
If we receive a request to remove content that violates local law, that content may no longer be available to readers on local domains where those laws apply.
Note: Country-specific domains is not a different blog address, but a domain redirect based on the country where you're currently located.

Read all content
If you would like to see content on other domains and do not want to be automatically redirected, type:
- http://[blogname].blogspot.com/ncr for an entire blog
- http://[blogname].blogspot.com/ncr/examplepage for a single post.
The “ncr” (no country redirect) will temporarily prevent redirection to the local version of the blog.

Content removed from Google
When content is removed from a blog, Google notifies the author and any account administrators by email and a message on their Blogger dashboard.
When content is removed from a blog for any reason, readers attempting to access it will see a message indicating that the content has been removed. A copy of every removal notice we receive relating to Blogger is sent to Chilling Effects for publication on their web site.
