Why does Google add visitor regional information to the domains on blogspot, in this case .com.es for no apparent reason?
It's intensely annoying to crawl political blogs for Australia, UK, New Zealand and US from my server in Germany and then have all the urls with .de when they go into my news site. As a problem the solution is trivial I suppose, but why do they do it in the first place?

They can do country-specific censorship (like: in China, the govt asks for something offensive there to be removed) but leave it accessible from everywhere else. Also, they can inform people in those countries that they can not access that specific content. Of course, that means that with a little bit of fiddling (change the domain name end, I think) you can read a censored post if you're in a problematic country. It's quite a good idea, actually.
