With an increase in official company blogs, and some large companies like Microsoft and Google offering popular blogging services, the issues become even more clouded. Some bloggers are beginning to speak out about corporate and government control, others would probably prefer to not risk their jobs."

That's the problem with you Brits. You just don't know how to sue the shit out of someone on flimsy claims and net embarassingly large rewards. And you wonder why the empire fell.
Americans are litigous bastards, so sue me.
This type of stuff varies depending on what state you are in, but the "at-will" nature of employment means you can be fired at any time -- even right now!
So stop reading Slashdot and get back to work.
