在政府严格控制媒体并禁止数百个新闻网站的国家中，可能很难访问纽约时报或BBC，但仍然可以玩我的世界，自2014年以来由微软拥有的视频游戏。因此，没有边界的非营利记者在游戏中创建了一个后门，建造了一个虚拟库，其中备有审查的文章，任何玩家都可以访问。
例如，在沙特阿拉伯，游客未经审查的库- 教育类别的获胜者德赢提款Fast Company的2021年世界改变想法奖-可以阅读被杀害记者贾马尔·卡索吉（Jamal Khashoggi）的报告，否则在该国互联网上很难找到。The library’s holdings also include articles from Javier Valdez, the Mexican journalist who covered crime and corruption until he was killed by gunmen, as well as stories from Nguyen Van Dai, an exiled Vietnamese human rights lawyer and democracy activist whose blog is blocked in his home country.
今年，图书馆添加了新的虚拟书籍，其中包括巴西和白俄罗斯的新闻业，将注意力集中在这些国家缺乏新闻自由上。Some articles from Belarus come from Charter97, a website that has been blocked in the country since 2018. “Ever since mass, anti-government demonstrations started last August in Belarus, the country’s president, Alexander Lukashenko, has tried to suppress all reporting that he views as critical of the government or the situation in the country,” says Anna Nelson, the U.S. executive director of Reporters Without Borders. “Hundreds of journalists who reported on the protests were temporarily detained, while some have been sentenced to several years in prison.”
自从我的世界玩家可以年仅7岁，该项目是记者没有边界的新一代新一代新闻自由问题的一种方式。尼尔森说：“很快，游戏用户就明白，在现实世界中，当信息经过审查或记者被拒绝访问真相时，会产生非常真实的后果。”自2020年3月推出以来，该项目已吸引了来自165个国家 /地区的2000万游戏玩家。
