The Reddit CEO has announced that the employee in question is no longer employed there.

But it's such a weaselly post.
First, it admits they didn't vet her before hiring: "We did not adequately vet her background before formally hiring her."
Apparently, a basic google search is too difficult for HR.
Second, it says this:
"On March 9th, we added extra protections for this employee, including actioning content that mentioned the employee’s name or shared personal information on third-party sites, which we reserve for serious cases of harassment and doxxing."
OK, and they _still_ didn't check why people were opposed to this person? Still no Internet search or, oh, reading the comments people were posting?
Notice that this "protection" was two weeks ago, not recently.
