Here is a PDF version of the complete court order by Manhattan Supreme Court (New York state trial court) order by Justice Joan Madden, ordering Google to reveal the identity of an anonymous blogger who called model Liskula Cohen a “skank.” This is the full text of the court ruling responding to Liskula Cohen’s subpoena. This is the judicial decision that will force Google to turn over the real identity of the blogger to Ms. Cohen’s lawyers.
And here is a linkable version to share.
Much more analysis to follow. For now, note the consideration of First Amendment issues in Footnote 5 of the document. It is a relatively short decision.
