blogging and anonymity??

A model filed a lawsuit against Google because an anonymous blogger said mean things about her.  Now the judge in that suit says Google must identify this “anonymous” blogger.

A woman who tweeted a negative post about her landlord is being sued for defamation- $50,000 for 140 characters.

Anonymity is taking on a whole new meaning in this digital age.  It worries me deeply.  As social networking has exploded, the law has not kept up to defend the rights of bloggers.
