Google is sued by a blogger for disclosing identity under court’s order

Rosemary Port, a blogger who attacked Liskula Cohen, a Vogue model, on the "Skanks of New York" blog last year, posting suggestive pictures of Cohen and adding comments that called Cohen a "skank," a "ho" and other unsavory terms, is suing Google for privacy infringement. Port is seeking damages of $15 million from the Internet search company.

According to Port’s attorney Google is accused of "breaching its fiduciary duty to protect her expectation of anonymity."

Earlier in January Cohen sued Google in January to obtain Port's identity. The point is that Google owns Blogger.com, the service on which the "Skanks" blog was hosted before it was taken down in March. Last week, a judge ruled in Cohen's favor, ordering Google to give up Port's identity. 

Port told the New York Daily News in an interview over the weekend that Cohen actually "defamed herself" and that Port's right to an opinion should be protected.

"When I was being defended by attorneys for Google, I thought my right to privacy was being protected. But that fell right through the cracks," Port told the newspaper. "Without any warning, I was put on a silver platter for the press to attack me. I would think that a multi-billion dollar conglomerate would protect the rights of all its users."
