    Well, it’s probably true. Although easier to confirm sometimes, information across the internet still is often a big game of telephone. Some people treat internet info like UDP and just accept what they get, some people are TCP and will fact check before accepting it.

    This person probably did just hear it from a buddy.

      All seriousness it’s funny how you explained it in a way where it’ll fly over 80% of people’s heads.

          Udp and tcp are ways of sending data over the internet

          Udp just receives it and accepts it’s what it should be

          Tcp receives it then asks if it’s right/nothing is missing

          Udp is faster but can lack accuracy

      Nice analogy!

      To complete your answer: where “UDP flooding” is caused by Propaganda machine using AI & Botnets which can only be created/handled by BIG/state actors which have access to this kind of resources…
