"On Thursday, the World Day Against Cyber Censorship, the nongovernmental organization Reporters Without Borders (RSF) launched its Uncensored Library, embedded deep inside the computer game Minecraft. The project makes information blocked in certain countries available via the online universe. Around the world, more than 145 million people meander through the landscape of Minecraft's virtual blocks. Recognizing the game's reach, RSF decided to create a channel for banned information. Situated on its own island, within the Minecraft universe, the library is a relatively massive structure for the game. The library is stocked with articles banned in the countries where they were written. Articles from journalists in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Mexico and Vietnam represent the beginnings of a database that will be expanded, said Kristin Bässe, who supervised the project for RSF. "It is designed to have a real impact," she said. Those five nations were chosen for their large numbers of Minecraft players."
