@Okanogen @theintercept Glenn resigned from The Intercept more than 2 years ago.
I'm just waiting for Ken Klippenstein to join us here.
@theintercept have you fired #Greenwald and stopped #RattingOut your sources like #RealityWinner?
If not, GTFO!
@m4u5 @theintercept you mean like "actual moderation", "accountability" and "consequences"?
When?!?
@theintercept built in verification

@theintercept I generally respect The Intercept but I'm *VERY* disappointed that the debunked Klippenstein/Fang story hasn't been retracted.
Retracting stories isn't a sign of weakness guys - it's a sign of integrity.
@theintercept can you verify that this is you? On your Twitter, the *pinned* post does not include any link to or mention of Mastodon account.
Additionally, you haven't verified yourself through the HTML method on other websites (including your own), and for The Intercept (which deals with technical means of information verification) this strikes me as highly suspicious.
@00Aaron @theintercept Because the lack of evidence that says it isn't. The lack of motive to say that it isn't them. It's not bot. It's not sharing non-intercept affiliate news. Even some of their journalist is here, none of them saying that the account is parody or bot. Also their instance is know to host journalist.
No concrete evidence that the account isn't theirs. Apart from your suspicion.
Verification isn't about looking for evidence that it isn't X, it's about having a chain of trust from what you know is X to what you think may be associated with X.
If verification was as you say, any good impersonator who avoided showing ulterior motives is actually one in the same with the actual thing. That's not how it works.
I welcome The Intercept putting this all to bed and showing what a paranoid fool I am by taking any step whatsoever that draws a line from its website or other trusted social media accounts to this one.
And yet it hasn't done it.
Look, the folx at The Intercept know how to use SecureDrop and PGP. This is not too complicated for them.
One extremely likely reason this account may have not verified that it's associated with the website we know and love, though... is that it's not actually The Intercept's account here.
We're all still waiting on a good response why there hasn't been any attempt at verification (even a simple tweet would do)
At The Intercept, we are strongly committed to publishing stories based on sensitive material when it is newsworthy and serves the public interest. One of our founding principles is that whistleblowing is vital to holding powerful institutions accountable; in fact, we were launched in part as a platform for journalism arising from disclosures by former […]
@anggiar @theintercept yeah there was a fake Reuters account about a month ago that also was only posting Reuters stories.
Eventually that account disappeared, probably because the moderator of the instance realized it was an impersonator and got rid of it. I expect that will happen to this account soon.
@theintercept
Any comment about this?
The Intercept gets so much wrong I wrote thousands of words to supplement Mike Masnick's debunking. More importantly, it got so much wrong at precisely the moment fascists seized on it in their efforts to prevent efforts to protect the vote.
@ariadne
PS
I think that I mentioned all the journalists who were banned by Elmo similarly equal.
