This is harmful to innovation in the Bay Area. Big Tech eats up all the talent and now sends the signal that they can’t leave. The trial hasn’t even begun for this case - I think they’re still debating what constitutes a trade secret. This seems personal. Google got angry that one of their “own” went to a competitor.

I bet this will make companies think twice about acquiring startups founded by Google employees.

Totally agree. That exactly what I'm saying too.

Just don't copy privileged/proprietary data/code and you'll be fine.
