when i saw on news yesterday it was clear it was not a freedom of speech issue. nobodies speech was stopped. a person was saying stuff that was actionable and there is no right to be anonymous so the courts granted the paperwork google demanded to release the identity of the blogger. google did not fail. google told the model that she needed a court order for them to release the identity of the blogger as their tos states. so she went to the courts and got one. google just appeared as well and also put up a small fight. of course there was already other such cases anyways where peoples identities were exposed. the models lawyer has also said it is not over yet which we all know that means they will go for damages from the blogger.
this all just says you can say what you want but if you say things that are libelous people can find out who you are.
