"Today is World Day Against Cyber Censorship. Launched by Reporters Without Borders in 2008, its
goal is to raise awareness of how various governments around the world
are censoring free speech online, whether it’s by blocking keywords on
social media, removing individual articles and blogs, or in extreme
cases, jailing and executing those individuals. With the WHO officially
declaring the spread of COVID-19 a pandemic, perhaps now is more important than ever to fight against government censorship—and one of the ways to do that is with Minecraft.
Spearheaded by Reporters Without Borders and built by BlockWorks and DDB Berlin, The Uncensored Library
is a place you can visit within Minecraft to read the works of censored
journalists from Russia, Mexico, Egypt, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia.
Unlike news websites or personal blogs, Minecraft is still accessible in
countries that tightly control what is reported about their
governments, and Reporters Without Borders is now using this loophole to
bypass internet censorship."
