Journalism advocacy organization Reporters without Borders has compiled a surprising collection of banned journalistic works from around the world.

What they said: "We chose Minecraft because of its reach," executive director Christian Mihr told the BBC. "It's available in every country. The game is not censored like some other games that are suspected of being political.

“There are large communities in every country that appears in the film, hence the idea: it's a loophole for censorship.”

The big picture: Journalists have been banned and even killed for publishing the truth about governments. Putting their work on a non-web-based platform like Minecraft decouples the content from easily searchable web content. The game itself has 112 million daily users, making it a big enough platform for these purposes.
