Now Gremach is hell bent upon finding the identity of the blogger, “Toxic Writer” who they claim is waging a hate campaign against the company and is posting lies on the blog. Or could it be that the blogger is a whistle blower who is genuinely interested in exposing the company’s misdeeds? Mining, construction company, and a remote, and poor African nation - all are potent indicators of fishy acts and Gremach’s insistence on knowing the identity of the blogger in spite of the blog being taken down is definitely indicative of suspicious activity. I hope Google India manages to stave off this unfair request of betraying a blogger’s identity in a democratic nation. This lawsuit hasn’t yet made news in the blogosphere but could have adverse effects on every blogger in India if Gremach’s request is granted.

I read this and wondered too - how would Google know the identity of the blogger anyway? An anonymous blogger does not need to give personal data to blogger (no payment is involved anyway, unless Ad Sense is used). IP addresses and circumstantial evidence?

Lekhni, IP address especially if you blog from your workplace. And never underestimate the power of Google :)
