The Uncensored Library is a Minecraft map released by Reporters without Borders and created by BlockWorks and DDB Berlin,[1] as an attempt to get around censorship in countries without freedom of the press. The library contains banned reporting from Mexico, Russia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. An entire wing is given to each country, and has memorials to journalists killed in the line of duty. The map was released on March 12, 2020, the World Day Against Cyber Censorship. Currently, the two ways to access the map are to download it from the official website, or to connect to their server. The address is also on their site.[2][3][4]
Format
Each of the five countries covered by the library, as well as Reporters without Borders, has an individual wing, containing a number of articles.[1] These articles generally discuss censorship, unjust punishment, and other critiques of the writer's government. In total, the library contains approximately 200 books.[4]
Additionally, the library contains a central room listing the Press Freedom Index of every country covered by the index, and the Mexican section contains memorials for reporters who were killed due to their writings.[4]
Notes
- ↑ The library was built by BlockWorks and DDB Berlin, while the article selection and publishing of the project was handled by Reporters without Borders.
