Clearly there's a huge difference between

1. preventing bad things

2. preventing bad in a way that all junior members on the receiving end feel bullied

So judging from the article alone, it's either suppressing good results and 2. above, both of which are not valuable in my book

The court case provides more details. Looks like the junior researchers and Jeff Dean teamed up and bullied Chatterjee and his team to prevent the fraud from being exposed. IIRC the NYT reported at the time that Chatterjee was fired within an hour of disclosing that he was going to report Jeff Dean to the Alphabet Board for misconduct.
