Minecraft is famous as a platform to expose people to the world of coding, but have you kept up with Reporters Without Borders library map project, The Uncensored Library?

So what is the Uncensored Library? It is a massive Minecraft server and map used to house banned reporting from Saudi Arabia, Russia, Vietnam, Mexico, and Egypt. But, you don’t have to understand how to play Minecraft to use the library. On their site, you can enter the library and navigate the different areas of the map.

It’s a fantastic project. You can read more about it here from these articles, but we encourage you to take a look at their site…
