Well there's a fine line between employees having a job duty as "participate in online forum" and straight up astroturfing. Especially on sites like HN and reddit which are relatively easy to manipulate. I don't know how comfortable I am with any company posting and promoting their own product/content. Even employees voting on posts seems like a potential conflict of interest to me.
