Google Lawsuit
In January, 2009, after an anonymous blogger on a website called Skanks in NYC been called her 'skanky' and 'an old hag', Cohen filed a defamation suit seeking a court order compelling Google and its Blogger service to identify the anonymous blogger. The blog had described her in disparaging and allegedly defamatory terms and displayed pictures of her simulating sex with a man at a party. In August 2009, a Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled that Cohen was entitled to know the name of the blogger who had authored the blog, ordering Google to release the blogger's name. Cohen then filed a defamation lawsuit against the blogger, Rosemary Port, for $3 million. Port then announced plans to sue Google for $15 million for breach of a fiduciary duty to protect her privacy, but has never filed any papers.
