Philipp Lenssen reports via Ben Ari’s blog that an Israeli court has compelled Google to hand over the IP address of a Blogger account.

The conditions of this require that the blogger, who allegedly committed slander, not reply to an anonymous email to reply to the motion. Since this blogger did not reply to the motion, Google will have to hand over the IP address information to a court in Israel.
