[lorriehacey]

Pretty good

[chinox59]

==

I'm israelien and i think all civilized nations must to destroy iranian stupid nation

Go Israel, Go Usa !

Fuck Iran !

==

good job dude, thx CITIZENTUBE

[narhem123]

Easy chinox59 ! tone a down a bit. There are cowards in Iran including the Basij, supreme leader and the usual suspect whom I wish slow and painful death, but you aint gonna destroy an entire nation over their cowardly acts.

[NinaBella93]

Scum. Can't even get arabs out of your country.

[ZendeghiBahal]

Keep the videos up! If you stop showing what is going on there, without any media to get footage to the outside world, the people will suffer gravely! Thanks and keep it up!

[Infinitehope6]

Oh good. I'm glad they decided to stop deleting videos.

[TreyNitrotoluene]

Thank you so much for appreciating context of these videos. It was all over Twitter that Iranian gov officials were flagging these vids as inappropriate as soon as they were leaked.

keep up the good work.

[RetrosArtParty]

When are you going to post videos from Palestine? Oh well, these videos will all be pushed aside by Michael jackson videos by tomorrow

[PrimalVinegar]

Who cares about Palestine? Palestine exists to make war on the jews.

[blujenebby]

Who cares about the Palestine? Gee, I dunno, maybe the jews?

[NinaBella93]

I do.

[blujenebby]

Isn't that the saddest thing you've ever heard?

[persianqu33n]

Thank you ...your support is deeply appreciated

Javeed Iran

[anamarie8]

Is it true that "foreign media" has been "kicked out of Iran" ? That's the first I've heard of that.

[snarfweasle]

So to speak. The Iranian officials have enacted a temporary "ban" on outside press, not allowing them to report the situation that is occurring.

[Katahu]

Dude, where have you been? The media has been kicked out of Iran almost a month ago!

[SCX2k]

just one thought: wouldnt it be very easy to wipe off all vids that are tagged like that?

i dont trust youtube and never will

its not like theyre doing it for democracy

or the people

its about credibility

the brand

just because we got the same interest here

we dont become friends in a snap

[livingxxgod]

I think it's ok, just have other's mirror the video without the tags.

[bootyjudie]

I heard Pres. Obama calling on Youtube for a question at the Press Briefing. It put a smile on my face.

[bootyjudie]

Yes, good job! In peace, love & light always. Namaste xoxoxoxo

[MicrosoftBob]

Keep up the good work YouTube. A lot of oppressed voices out there are depending on you and other internet outlets to get the word out.

[legitshit]

I believe this is a great way for people to find out what's truley happening in the world.

Youtube... is freakishly... a hero?

[samjaramillo]

in a .....sad....odd..wat it is

[landsnake897]

i completly agree with u on how some of the videos are graphic...use caution, especially around children!

[LittleMeSmiley]

Why is he yellow??

[mot5600]

ate too many bananas

[BlackwoodCompany]

We seemed to be a little worried about what Iran thinks.

[Katahu]

Are you talking about the Iranian Gov't or the People? If it's the gov't, who gives a crap about them? If it's about their people, then i can understand that question.

[BlackwoodCompany]

Why not say about both?

[abba422]

Thanks for this incredible service you're providing.

The world appreciates it.

2 suggestions that could easily be implemented.

1- This vid is too high quality, and with the Iranian govt's crackdown and stovepiping of Iranian internet, it's going to be tough for Iranian posters to even watch this vid.

2- The other is to put a small summary of what you said, especially regarding the tagging, at the top of every Youtube page so that as many people see it as possible.

Once again, thanks!

[SteveXnycperformance]

What about the censorship....is it you partner?

[EdderLoco]

orange man! O.o

[Q3o5]

funny man, funny

[Churumbelita]

It is really amazing to see how a revolution can unfold in the 21st century, and I'm really glad to see the people in charge at YouTube taking such a proactive role. It's important for these videos to be shared with the rest of the world, particularly now when the Iranian government is trying to keep everyone in the dark. Keep up the good work.

[nm9317]

you're orange

[CtrlAltDECIMATE]

YouTube has done something right for once. Kudos.

[godshiva]

Don't kid yourself - all Iran needs to do is click the flag button enough

[sebisthebestyes]

good job youtube

[grandesab10]

Good work Youtube, you are making great stuff for a videos site. We aprecciate that. First youtube = great entertainment and informative videos, Recent Youtube = forward into making financial and aproval success and ignoring haters that dont like the fact wmg audios are being taken from their videos.

Youtube ignore haters. Microsoft, Apple, CNN and others have them. Keep up the good work and make the world a better a place. Thank you

[blackscent]

im iranian, but im so dissapointed in the government.

it is so bullshit,

they cheat, and then they hurt people because they want their freedom,

im iranian and now that i live in the us, i still take for-granted how truly lucky i am,

but i mis my dad and my grandparents still back there and i wish them a great life :(

[bokabeed]

Go CITIZENS OF IRAN!!! Just keep going, we're all on your side! Just DON"T GIVE UP, no matter how scary it gets. WE have to stop this man before e becomes the next Hitler!

This is your battle though, not ours. You have our support.

[bokabeed]

This is really a look into the future. YouTube and Twitter are playing a huge part in all of this.

Most of my friends are 15 and don't even know what Twitter is, thats how new this site is. But it still has changed the way media works. And YouTube as well.

I think it's a great thing.

[lollollol189]

OMG I'm from Tehran...

[theblacknemesis]

ORANGE FAKE TAN FTW

[Fancysymbol]

The people should win.

I wasn't sure what was happening before, but now that I heard what happened, I am totally for the people.

Anyone hear about North Korea?

How are you supposed to stop nuclear missiles?

[thevalidators]

Thanks a lot guys, we will remember it..

[UpstatePolitician]

You guys are doing an AWESOME job!

[global2012]

Go iran !maybe they can be the spark to modernize the middle east,im 18 and from the united states i truely hope the people of iran suceed.i also am happy to live in the 21st century because what i see now could be very important history-that if it was 12 or 13 years earlier wouldn't be possible-because it blows the stigma away from the middle east that every guy in the middlee east isn't some backward muslim wanting to beat there wifes,where the young men defend the young women .GO IRAN!

[Navid102]

youtube and twitter are taking advantage of the extra traffic on their sites because of Iran

[ganzthul]

I support the protests with my entire heart.

[DivyaPreity4ever]

me too.....mahmud and the ayatollah should go to hell...

[TopKat17]

O they will....

[eplpsp2]

I have one question. who is doing the fighting in iran? police and protesters? malitias? are the protests peaceful?

[LTUK85]

Protesters are peaceful but it's ILLEGAL to protest against government!!! the police and the militias attacks them they also use tear gas/rubber bullets and actual bullets, ppl in return throw stones to fight back!!..there is no others way of doing it when the government is run by dictators!!!

[CarnifexAaron]

THATS THE THING, why do you think they are all mad and protesting? They are pissed with the elections he cheated! and they are all mad because their country is more like a dictatorship. So they keep protesting despite of it being illegal

[pOWeRbYeVIL]

haha right, but rigging an election isnt illegal? oh yeah, i know why, CAUSE THEYRE THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT.

[AmishChildren]

Yeah, Thank you!

[hadr0n]

If you really believe in freedom of speach why won't you do anything about the votebots and false flagging campaigns?

[Cynthia1281]

Thank you :)

[RycusAssassin]

You guys are changing the world for the better, thanks Youtube.

[LeM0njui3c3]

this is pretty cool...

[amirgca]

Thanks man, they have blocked all doors to us in iran, its good you are helping us to spread our voice to the world. its like a prison here in iran. we can not even call to each other cuz all the cell phones and telephones are being monitored!

[Craig5233]

thank you

[matthewandrew]

cute

[redmoonspider]

Thank you YouTube and Google.

[walnuthead777]

Thanks for keeping all of us up to date on what is happening in Iran. I just wish that the people in Iran could have access to this site to see how many in the world are supporting them.

[FanMadeProductions]

Yes indeed. Thank youtube for doing this it does mean alot. We pray for those good souls in iran

[MarijnSmith]

I think it's realy good YouTube is able to make sure what happens in Iran can still e spread all over the world

Thank You(tube)

[zentropy78]

thank you thank you thank you. a thousand times thank you!

[heyoka]

Thank you for allowing these videos to be shown. It is inspiring to see the positive side of our exponentially increasing technology and interconnectivity. Those in such plight have a free and immediate portal to tell the world their story, and that is an incredibly meaningful thing.

[tmobil8]

Thanks,

best regards Thomas

[NoMooreMercy]

Good job on what you guys are doing with this issue, users such as myself appreciate it.

[jimbob150555]

I suppose America will invade Iran now, pull out of Iraq and into Iran.

[b19pen15]

This video is way to saturated. He looks yellow.

[manhattanwombat]

he works in IT in america, he's asian

[TheOriginaKrillinFan]

Thanks for doing this. Thanks for not letting these people go without a voice.

[Stuka87]

Great job guys. I am glad that YouTube is not pulling the videos down. The Iranians need to let the world know what is happening there.

[silntdoogood]

Impressive, I never thought of it as a documentary value, just political.

[tino1102]

tyvm for the info

gosh the world is getting worse -_-"

[ddiiaa52]

Thanks so much for letting us know this. Appreciate it. The world is getting worse and worse and graphic.

[FkyGGGG]

[Zerozx11645]

Great update.

[BowieZ]

Thanks for this. I gotta say I find the actual CiTu homepage confusing to navigate.

[thenisrhaslanded]

Hey, Steve. Thanks a lot. You guys have been a real life-saver. Keep up the good work, and God bless.

[HaleyBirdy]

citizentube is a great idea, thank you for keeping us connected with the world issues in such a personal way.
