Employee Blogs Raise Freedom-of-Expression Issues

Questions:

1. Do you believe Mark Jen's first Amendment rights were violated by Google? Why or why not?
answer: On his first amendment the google didn't infringe his rights. Why? because at first while he was working in searching the Google's corporate Intranet, which to his surprise was very disorganized. So he made some arrangement and comments, and began advertising it. This is not an offense if he will not include those sensitive information about the Google's company.

2. Employee bloggers sometimes use pseudonyms. Under what conditions the blogging
service might be forced to provide the real identity of the blogger?

answer: From the reading I read, the bogging service employees, are going to provide the real identity of the blogger every time they provide or make. Because providing fake identities of your blog may cause lie to your self, in your company or whatever.

3. Following Mark Jens's dismissal, Google made it clear that it allows employee to maintain blogs and even to post information about problems with Google's blogging services. What reasons might Google have for releasing this information to the public?

answer: Upon releasing some information from the company to the public including problems, advertisement, news etc., will make consumers entirely trustworthy in your services.
