From support.reddithelp.com:
No. Reddit is quite open and pro-free speech, but it is not okay to post someone's personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Facebook pages and screenshots of Facebook pages with the names still legible.
Posting someone's personal information will get you banned. When posting screenshots, be sure to edit out any personally identifiable information to avoid running afoul of this rule.
Public figures can be an exception to this rule, such as posting professional links to contact a congressman or the CEO of a company. But don't post anything inviting harassment, don't harass, and don't cheer on or upvote obvious vigilantism.
I could some help to clarify how to best act in this situation.
We have a 20k subreddit, and people are upset about the actions of a local CEO (funny enough one of the exact examples from the "exceptions" above).
Are people allowed to mention their name in the context of alleged bad actions? I have no idea what's going on, I don't have a dog in the fight, I just want to provide the best balance between allowing the free & open communication of ideas and respecting reddit's rules.
