Oh wow, he was at Google Waterloo when I first started and was a super nice guy. This is a hard and terrifying read. I really feel for him.

Who attempted to force his employer to fire him for a code of conduct violation?

  I don't know what part of his story you refer to, if its: "It took me weeks to regain access to my accounts, which were disabled after my employer (Facebook) was notified and embarked on disabling them." I guess they've disabled his account to prevent access of the intelligence services to any sensitive data.
