The Uncensored Library is a Minecraft server and map released by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and created by BlockWorks, DDB Berlin,[1] and .monks[2] as an attempt to circumvent censorship in countries without freedom of the press.
The library contains banned reporting from Mexico, Russia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Brazil, Belarus, Iran and Eritrea.
It is intended to resemble well-established institutions such as the New York Public Library, as well as stylistically allude to the authoritarian structures the project aims to subvert.
In doing so it would become impossible for individual governments and authoritarian regimes to outlaw one specific game or other type technology ensuring greater access to censored writings for future generations.
have pointed out that in countries like North Korea, access to foreign computer games and programs is heavily restricted by the government to prevent exposure to outside ideas and influences that could challenge the state's control.
