Press Freedom Group Stores Censored Articles in Minecraft Library

Minecraft is an extremely popular video game, with more than 170 million copies sold across the globe.

A virtual library that houses censored articles from around the globe has been built within the wildly popular video game Minecraft by the press freedom group Reporters Without Borders (RSF).

Minecraft's pixelated graphics permit players to build entire worlds with digital blocks that look Lego-like.

RSF claimed it had placed work by banned, exiled, or killed journalists from five countries -five countries - Egypt (Mexico), Saudi Arabia, Russia, Vietnam and Vietnam - on an Open Server, which makes it accessible to users to view , despite local laws.

The group issued the news that Minecraft is still available to everyone in these countries, with blogs, websites, and free press in general in a press release.

"These articles are now available again within Minecraft and are hidden from government surveillance technology within the game's computer. Audioshop The books are accessible by anyone on the server, but their content is not able to be altered," it said.

In May of this year, Minecraft said 176 million copies of the game had been sold since its launch a decade ago.

The project, announced on Thursday, to commemorate the World Day Against Cyber Censorship it is dubbed the "Uncensored Library" and is a model of a massive neoclassical-style structure in the game.

RSF declared that the library was expanding and more texts were being added in English as well as their original languages.

In the game are articles written by murdered Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and from Egyptian online newspaper Mada Masr, which has been blocked in the North African country since 2017.
