NEW YORK (AP) — A model targeted by negative commentary by an anonymous blogger is seeking a court order that would force Google to reveal who the person or people responsible are.

Liskula Cohen, in her filing in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, said the commentary on her hygiene and sexual habits on the site was defamatory, malicious and false.

The posts were on a blog hosted by Google's Blogger.com. In a statement, Google said its policy was to provide subscriber information only under subpoena or other legal requirement.
