Fear, uncertainty and doubt – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations,^[1][2] politics and propaganda.

FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor’s product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.

The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry^{[dubious ]} but has since been used more broadly.^[3] FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
