Above case indicates that there are a few internet users who were outraged on the decision made to reveal the anonymous blogger's identity as it is considered an invasion of a person's online privacy.
This however, i strongly disagree. Gis of case clearly states that "Google" initially did not reveal the said blogger's identity upon the request of said cover-girl as it is part of the rights given to each of their users in its agreement under terms and condition. Therefore, this proves that google had made a correct decision and not breaching its agreement.
Unfortunately, said cover-girl had later decided to file sue on google for not reveiling the blogger's identity whom had posted unpleasant remarks on her which can also be called as defamation. In favour of the cover-girl, court had granted her request and ordered google to reveal the identity of the blogger.
As a result, google had no other options but to reveal its user. My point is, online privacy has already been entitled to each and every internet users. However, in this particular case the said blogger had misused its given privilege.
In conclusion, reason for such actions to be taken is also to protect other internet users in cases not only as mentioned but also cases that relates to crime and other misuse act under the law. Overall, i do not see that we as an internet user should feel unhappy or outraged on the matter.
