Today is International Day Against Cyber Censorship. Presented by Journalists Without Borders in 2008, itThe aim is to let you know how various governments around the world are cutting off free online speech, whether it's blocking keywords on social media, deleting articles and blogs, or in extreme cases, tagging and killing those people. With WHO officially announcing COVID-19 broadcast a the plague, perhaps now more important than before the government's thinking-One of the ways to do that with Minecraft.
Released Authors Without Borders and built by BlockWorks and DDB Berlin, Library Not Updated is a place you can visit within Minecraft to learn the works of explored journalists from Russia, Mexico, Egypt, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia. Unlike news websites or blogs, Minecraft still has access to countries that strictly control what is reported by their governments, and Reporters Without Border now use this loophole to pass online surveys.
"Their forbidden articles were republished in Mincraft's books, giving readers an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the real political situation in their countries and to learn the importance of media freedom," The Uncensored Library said on their website.
There are two ways to access the library:
For Windows 10, download the map from The Uncensored Library website, extract the file, and save it to your .minecraft folder under AppData / Roaming. In MacOS, you will find a folder in / Library / Support / Minecraft / saves. You can also connect to the Uncensored Library's Minecraft Library server without downloading the map.
There are a few controversies in those approaches, however. If you try to download and map your computer, it will only work on Java version of Minecraft, not Windows 10. (The same is true of the Mac version.) If you try to access the server, it will only work with Minecraft version 1.14.4, but you can easily to roll back the version within the Minecraft Launcher under & # 39; Installation. & # 39; While the library is amazing to look at on its own, it's pretty much the same with other people walking around, reading the same things.
The library itself is divided into six sections, five of which contain the works of checked journalists, and one of Boxer Without Borders. At each department's main entrance (sets one RWB) there is a database on which it contains information on the current state of government research in that country, and calculates its position in the World Press Freedom Index. (You can also find similar information on the website.)
The archive also contains information about the journalists featured in each section, as well as the architecture and what they represent. The massive Vietnamese labyrinth leading up to the survey, for example, represents how the Vietnamese government is making it difficult for citizens to easily access information. Don't be fooled by endless book lines; those are ready to be seen. Instead, the most important documents, the work of journalists, are in the center of the rooms. These are things you can learn.
The project was just released today, so it's unclear when some of the paid journalists will end up in the Minecraft library in the future, but at least there is – and a very clever way to avoid Internet sensors to make your voice heard. Include this in an endless list of things you can do with Minecraft.
