The Uncensored Library

Even in countries where most media is blocked, Minecraft is still easily accessible. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) used this loophole to build The Uncensored Library in the game and reach young people suffering under censorship. A vast digital library where censored journalists republished their articles inside Minecraft books. The library reached over 25 million gamers, was featured in over 860 news articles (2.9 B. reach), and donations to RSF increased by more than 62%.
