A Manhattan court has given Google two weeks to identify the creator of a creepy YouTube shrine to ex-model Carla Franklin. The case bears some resemblance to that of another ex-model, Liskula Cohen, who got a New York court to unmask the so-called “skank blogger,” who was anonymously insulting her using Google’s Blogger service. The outed blogger, Rosemary Port, threatened to sue Google, claiming a First Amendment right to blog anonymously.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
