the uncensored library
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) wanted to find a way to bypass censorship and reach young people in oppressive countries. They are especially vulnerable to disinformation campaigns by authoritarian governments and have no access to independent journalism. So, we brought press freedom back to them – with Minecraft. Because even in countries where almost all media is blocked, Minecraft is still accessible. We used this loophole to turn a computer game into a tool to overcome censorship and give young people back their human right to access information.
