You don't normally give people the boot and then let them roam free in the company for two weeks. They are not going to do any useful work and the risk of retaliation is too high. You communicate the termination and ask them not to come to work and enjoy their two weeks of work

Meta just did the "10000 layoffs over the coming months" approach so it's less of a surprise if you are laid off. There are ways to do it more gracefully yeah but I don't expect a tiny company like App Academy that is largely self funded to have expertise in layoff strategy.
If their biggest concern was retaliation of bad actors then they have some bigger problems with their company culture they have to sort out. People don't often retaliate at tech companies because they might never get a job again, and companies have a record of suing and winning when this happens.
