From the Globe and Mail:

A Canadian woman has launched a lawsuit against Google Inc., demanding that the company reveal the identity of the people she says posted offensive statements about her on a blog hosted by the U.S. technology titan.

Liskula Cohen, a 36-year-old fashion model who appeared on the covers of the Australian Vogue and W magazines in the early 1990s, wants Google to hand over the name of the anonymous blogger who posted a series of unflattering photos and comments about her using the company's Blogger publishing service.

The lawsuit has turned Ms. Cohen into an instant Internet celebrity as details of her ordeal began to emerge this week. However, legal experts in the United States say she may have a difficult time making her case.

Her complaint relates to a series of posts made in August, 2008 on the “Skanks in NYC” blog.
