I tried Googling this and couldn't find it. I also don't want to believe it because it seems like the world suddenly turned into an apocalyptic hellscape with no place for developers like me. Do you have a source?
First, I work at Google and its onboard training explicitly mentions Stack Overflow as a forbidden example due to CC-BY-SA license (SA is the problematic part). The following link is the official reference.
I don't have a source to link, but I've also been told this by someone who works at Google. Is copy-pasting stuff verbatim from SO really that much of a thing? I use SO plenty, but have never considered taking anything verbatim.
