ninemsn: A New York fashion student who called a model a "psychotic, lying, whoring ... skank" on her blog plans to file an $18 million lawsuit against Google for revealing her identity, according to reports.
Rosemary Port, 29, was sued by 37-year-old model Liskula Cohen over an alleged defamatory post on her anonymous Google blog account.
Google was forced to reveal Port's identitiy after a Manhattan Supreme Court judge rejected her claims that blogs should not be regarded as fact.
"When I was being defended by attorneys for Google, I thought my right to privacy was being protected," she told the NY Daily News.
"But that right fell through the cracks. 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."
The New York Fashion Institute of Technology student said she plans to file an $18 million lawsuit against Google. >>> ninemsn staff | Monday, August 24, 2009
