Reddit used to do stuff like this until the Boston Bombing. A bunch of volunteers created a big effort to try to identify the bombers from photos and videos of the event. The media reported on some suspects they came up with before it had any confirmation from authorities or anything. And ended up falsely accusing innocent people of being terrorists. Then there was a big backlash against reddit for even trying to do what they did. Now the community really frowns on stuff like that. The admins created much stricter site wide rules on posting personal information.
