As a union delegate, and I've defended a number of people who have had their jobs threatened because of status updates.
Fortunately our courts (in Australia) have upheld that if it's in the public interest and truthful, it's fine. However, most people without strong representation who are unaware of their rights usually end up with formal warnings or fired.
It was slightly farcical. We argued that it was nothing defamatory and fair commentary. The next day, the entire department posted 'Company X's Media Policy is a joke' as their status.
Of course, if they tried to monitor Slashdot comments, the entire IT department where I work is going to be looking for a job on Monday.
I didn't slog through a future ruled by mutant-hating Sentinels, storm the beaches of Klendathu and brave the Three Terrors of the Fire Swamp so that some kid could pick up Halo and call himself a geek.
When my party came back from the Temple of Elemental Evil, they spat on me.
.....studio executives, Uwe Boll, marketing, EA, hipsters, Comic Con and it's army of bored but attractive spokesmodels are taking it's retainer and giving it a fierce kicking.

$20 million to send a robot with a camera to a recording studio in Pasadena?
I'm game.
- White Blood Cells vs Predator
- Deadliest Warrior: White Blood Cells or Roman Centurion
- Jurassic Fight Club: White Blood Cells vs Stegosaurus
Geeze, what kind of geeks read slashdot these days?
Realms fans, cutter.
That's still thinking too small.
High Speed Rail to Mars, FTW!

I hear Steve from Accounting goes both ways.
Now I'm waiting for that call from HR.
...for a moment there I thought I could finally throw away all my choked-by-terrible-awful-service-provider-asphyxiation pr0n.
That's not always true. Professional studios will often use shaky cam to capture that visceral feel.
It works too. I hear a number of porno veterans walked out of Shaving Ryan's Privates.
I speak for the collective internet.....2 minutes later.

Life aint nuthin but CR5 Encounters & Money.
Don't hate the game, hate the playa....
I knew a conceptual artist who tried the same thing.
I miss him.
I don't want my car bitching to other cars about my driving over the petrol pump.
"......by stealing the ideas, innovations and intellectual property rights."
Isn't this their business model?
I never assumed I'd one day be in farcical trial with my dick in my hand and a ruler.
