The First Section of the European Court of Human Rights concluded that the U. K. hadn't failed in its duty to protect the right to a private and family life of an individual who had been victim of alleged defamatory comments made anonymously in the comments section of a blog hosted by Google’s “Blogger.com” service. The U.K. courts had dismissed the individual's libel claim against Google Inc. The Court reasoned that the domestic courts had adequately balanced the Article 10 rights of both information society service providers (ISSPs) providers, such as Google Inc., and Blogger.com’s end users against the individual's Article 8 right to respect for reputation, included in the right to a private and family life, by applying the “real and substantial tort” test in deciding whether to allow service out of the jurisdiction on Google Inc.
