Bij Anonymous hebben ze hun buik vol van iedereen op Twitter die het heeft over Justin Bieber en Bernie Mac. Maar ze geven Twitter de schuld door ervoor te kiezen deze hasthags trending te maken in plaats van andere hashtags waarvan de groep van mening is dat deze belangrijker zijn.
Maar ze hebben nu een eigen oplossing gevonden: URGE, wat staat voor Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter. Hetgene URGE doet is dat het Anonymous leden en supporters in staat stelt om: “hijack trending topics” & “tweet messages within them.” Het gebruik ervan leggen ze hier uit.
Hieronder het hele bericht waarin ze duidelijk maken dat het geen hacking / exploit tool is.
“To the people of the interwebz.
We recently have become tired of seeing trending topics on twitter that were redundant and “pop culture” like. We have also grown tired of Twitter not trending hash tags that actually serve a cause and mean something to free thinkers of the world. We have taken note of why Twitter would not do so, they only trend topics which would “appeal” to people and can get people to tweet more. This was pathetic in our eyes, and we could not stand by and take it anymore. We have developed a program called “U.R.G.E. Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter (twitter edition)” which hijacks trending topics of our choice and and lets us tweet messages within them. This will help raise awareness of problems going on in this world and show people that real problems exist outside of “Jersey Shore” and “Sex”. We will distribute this program amongst Anonymous and anyone else who cares to use this for awareness and bashing corrupt politicians. This is not a hacking tool nor is it an exploit tool, it was created to make it easier for us to tweet faster without copying and pasting constantly.“
