The 'Skanks' case recently took a new turn, with the 'anonymous' blogger, Rosemary Port, intending to file a $15 million lawsuit against Google, alleging that the Internet giant had failed to protect her right to privacy! The allegation comes in response to Google's revelation of Port's identity, in compliance with the Manhattan court order.
The 27-year-old Port had used a site on Google's Blogger. com, to publish derogatory remarks about former Vogue cover girl and model Liskula Cohen. In a court case filed by Cohen, Google was forced to identify the 'anonymous' blogger, as Cohen said that the comments, pertaining to her hygiene, her sexual habits and her behavior at New York clubs, were 'defamatory.'
Though Port, a Fashion Institute of Technology student, is understandably bitter towards Liskula Cohen; she is also planning to sue Google for - as Port's lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, has put it - "breaching its fiduciary duty to protect her expectation of anonymity."
However, apparently Port's way of hitting back in vengeance, via the court route, is blatantly amplified - more so as, going by the legal aspect, Google has clarified that users agree to a privacy policy, which allows the company to disclose personal information in case of a legal action.
Meanwhile, Cohen does not desire to press her defamation suit. Having forgiven Port, Cohen said: "It adds nothing to my life to hurt hers!"
