Hello James,


So PC Magazine links (pcmag.com) in UK get converted to uk.pcmag.com
and some place else they get converted to au.pcmag.com? Nasty! It's
hard to communicate that way. Censorship?


Unlikely.  It's more likely that the web site detected that the reader
wasn't/isn't located in the UK(1) and 'helpfully' redirected them to a
more appropriate(?) site.

Short version WRT censoprship:  Never attribute to malice that which can
be attributed to stupidity.

(1) Perhaps based on IP.  Not infallible.
