write a one page paper on the following Ethic question

Blake works for a large IT company. The company is presented with a legal directive from the federal government to divulge personal data regarding some of the companys customers who are suspected of wrongdoing. Blake feels that this is a violation of the customers privacy and is reluctant to comply with the request. His boss tells him the company has no choice; it must follow the law. Blake is told he can always choose to resign from the company if he feels so strongly about the situation. Instead of complying or resigning, Blake goes public. He uses the media to advocate his point of view for freedom and privacy, even while knowing that his actions will have far-reaching consequences. Instead of just losing his job, Blake risks losing his freedom and his future. Did Blake do the right thing? Is he a hero of free speech or a criminal (and possibly even a traitor)? What other options were available to him? What should the company have done when Blake went public? What should the government do?
