FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.?
In this particular reference is has to do with starting rumors about NameDrop, when the author clearly doesn¡¯t know what they are talking about and haven¡¯t researched it, but insist on spreading Fear.?

My original response was to tell
readers that I never click links unless the message explains why
it's worth doing so.
Now there's a message with an
abbreviation that I do NOT understand - FUD
and there's repeated mention of
NameDrop.
I am totally confused

NameDrop is basically eye-candy. A feature that makes a whole
lot about nothing.?
I understand why Apple changes default settings during major
upgrades. It is to showcase or highlight the new eye-candy, uh,
features.?
I would rather that they list the new feature, with links to
more info, and let the user turn the interesting ones on.
Although, that would also show that there are only one or two
new features that are worth a second thought, and another dozen
that are just eye-candy.?

You don't have namedrop unless you are
running iOS 17.

I was taught to be cautious many years ago
I never click on links that arrive without any
explanation as to why doing so might be interesting
or useful.
