  • In many authoritarian countries where news sources and books are censored, the video game “Minecraft” is not.
  • So, a group of designers made a library within “Minecraft” full of information that people in those countries, and elsewhere around the world, can access.
  • The project, called “The Unlicensed Library,” was organised for the World Day Against Censorship by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), a press freedom NGO that tracks censorship, legal action against journalists, and disinformation.

Media freedom advocates are meeting people where they are, and apparently, that’s “Minecraft.” The block-building game, which Microsoft bought in 2014 for $US2.5 billion, has been one of the most popular games worldwide over the last 10 years. As of September, it had a staggering 112 million active players every month, a number that has reportedly grown to 145 million.
