Liskula Cohen, a 36-year-old fashion model who appeared on the covers of the Australian Vogue and W magazines in the early 1990s, wants Google to hand over the name of the anonymous blogger who posted a series of unflattering photos and comments about her using the company's Blogger publishing service.
