An anonymous blogger in
Why, he wants to know, if he created his blog on blogger.com or google.com, does he see that he’s on the google.com.cu domain every time he logs off?
His concern, as you might guess, is privacy.

I am no techy, but I would guess that since google owns blogger.com and google likes to keep everything organized by country, they have seperate "folders" for each country where blogs are published. They are stored on some kind of .Cu server, hence the .cu back-end address popping up when logging out.
Or it is an evil Communist plot.
On his site, a reader from Portugal responded:
“google.com.cu não é um sítio cubano, está nos EU como todos os google; podes ir a ‘Herramientas del idioma’ e escolher outro país. isso não quer dizer que o tráfego não é filtrado, se não consegues aceder usa http://proxify.com/ ou parecido”
“Google.com.cu is not a Cuban site, it is in the US like all the Googles; you can go to ‘language tools’ and choose another country. This does not mean that the traffic is not filtered, if you can’t gain access use http://proxify.com/ or something similar.”
