If you went to Minecraft.net today, you were probably surprised to see a big flashing ad about something called Reset the Net. What’s up with that?

What’s up is that Mojang seems to have joined a campaign to discourage governments from spying on citizens using the internet. According to a Mojang blog post, Reset the Net was inspired by  NSA (National Security Agency) and GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) spying on internet and phone communications.
