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

them to a more appropriate(?) site.

In order to show them more appropriate advertising!

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