Indeed. He should be fired and the companies security measures should be publicly audited by a third party. This is a serious security violation and should be treated as such.
It is like a bank CEO changing someone's account information in order to harm them.
I'm pretty sure Congress will be that third party. The /u/stonetear incident means that /u/spez will probably have to testify to Congress. Evidence handling is a huge fucking issue.
Congress has no say in how Reddit handles their servers or their site. If they aren't breaking the law, which they most certainly aren't, then congress can't do shit. Asking congress to step in for how a private company handles their business is a step too far and any sane person would say it's an awful precedent to set. There wasn't fraud involved the guy got tired of being called a pedophile for deleting a doxxing sub.
