Availability refers to the operator's official clearnet page. The hidden-service endpoint is not contacted.
Identity confidence
Medium
Independent sources exist, but identity continuity has not been independently confirmed.
- Supports confidence: Independent sources: 3
- Supports confidence: Recently observed
- Supports confidence: No unresolved identity conflicts
- Supports confidence: Status history is consistent
- Weakens confidence: Identity cannot be independently confirmed
Availability and identity are assessed separately. A responding endpoint does not show that it is operated by the entity it claims to be. Why this matters

What it is
The Intercept is described by Wikidata as “US online newspaper”, classified there as magazine, organization, news website and 501(c)(3) organization. Wikipedia's editors list it among services that operate, or have operated, a Tor onion service, which is why it appears in this directory.
Its recorded inception date is 2014. It also maintains an official clearnet website, which is what automated availability checks on this profile refer to.
Where an official address is on file it is shown on this profile with its source; compare it with the entity's own site before relying on it.

Impersonation and scam reports
Only reports confirmed by a reviewer are listed. A report describes lookalikes of this entity; it is not a statement about the entity itself.
No confirmed reports. That is an absence of reports, not a guarantee that no impersonators exist.
Evidence history
The most recent accepted observations. Each records whether something responded and, separately, whether identity was assessed.
