Peeking Behind the Google Shield

Criticism of a Vogue magazine cover model isn't exactly ground breaking legal news.  A judge ruling requiring Google to turn over the name of the defaming blogger may be.  ABC News reports that the New York State Supreme Court did not buy a blogger's argument that the Internet is a place for ranting, notwithstanding the facts.  The court forced Google to turn over the name of the blogger. Even though a defamation action by model Liskula Cohen might be an uphill battle, her success in peeking behind the Google shield may keep some unscrupulous bloggers in check.
