Stop Or Disable Blogger from Redirecting Country Specific Domain URL

Google has been redirecting their Blogger blogs to country specific domain extensions. For example, If you open “YourDomainName.blogspot.com” in your browser, it redirects to as “YourDomainName.blogspot.in” (if you are in India) or “YourDomainName.blogspot.fr” (If you are in France). This implementation done by Google because of Selective censorship (to block a blog or page easily).

When I login my Blogger dashboard and checks blog traffic Statistics, Its giving some country specific domain name of blog URL at more than 10 countries.

Some example list I have observed in my dashboard,

Argentina (blogspot.com.ar)
Australia (blogspot.com.au)
Brazil (blogspot.br)
Canada (blogspot.ca)
Germany (blogspot.de)
India (blogspot.in)
Italy (blogspot.it)
France (blogspot.fr)
Japan (blogspot.jp)
Mexico (blogspot.mx)
Portugal (blogspot.pt)
Spanish (blogspot.cl)
Sweden (blogspot.se)
