This is nothing more than a bitchy little girl pointing fingers and calling names, just like Jr High.  Port's position seems to be that her right to defame another from the shadows was violated when Google reveiled her identity under court order. Perhaps Miss Port should spend more time at her studies and less time sniping at her friends. Talk about self obsessed...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cyoung2281]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 25th 2009 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 'Skanks' Blogger Sues Google for $15M for Divulging Identity]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/25/skanks-blogger-sues-google-for-15m-for-divulging-identity/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/25/skanks-blogger-sues-google-for-15m-for-divulging-identity/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Internet was supposed to be the prolix paradise where there would be no more gatekeepers and everyone would finally have their say. We would express ourselves freely at any level, high or low, with no inhibitions. In this case, Rosemary Port's right to privacy and anonymity was violated. Rosemary Port is mad as heck, and she isn't going to take it any more.  So, in the face of defamation and the invasion of privacy, Rosemary Port got herself a lawyer and told Google that their deal was about to go DOWN.  Here's where it began – Port maintained a Blogger account, anonymously, on the Google blog network Blogger.  It was called Skanks in NYC, and the tone and substance was the vicious rending of self important New York socialites, one of which, Liskula Cohen, a model, sued Google, who revealed Port's identity, which she maintains is a violation of her privacy.  Perhaps Google should do some credit repair with Rosemary Port, and compensate her for treading on her privacy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dfgsfvsrydvsvdysy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2009 1:57AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
