It's a massive travesty that without some work Americans are now redirected to BBC.com, which curates news to be American-facing, and thus IMHO bows to advertiser pressure. We can't see BBC.co.UK, so we can't know what the other side of the news even looks like. All news services do this. And it already fragments and destroys and hope of really talking about the news in a healthy manner IMHO.

Not only americans. I'm in Romania and also got redirected to bbc.com.

Guessing it's everyone that's not in the UK.
