  • Google censors what they are required to censor by order of the Chinese government, and it's only censored in China. That's the price of being allowed to maintain a company there...

  • I am so fed up with countries like Iran that treat their citizens as cattle.

  • Youtube is still somewhat being controlled by certain group. It is not entirely opening the real world yet. Engineers and techies will eventually grow sick of it and produce a truly peers enabled and shared multimedia routing system that no one is able to screen and block.

  • CBS is so behind the times. YouTube has been filling this role for a long time. It got Obama elected for one.

  • We need Sarah Palin to be President instead of Obambi for she will UNLEASH the WRATH OF GOD HERSELF onto the Basiji and the DEVILISH SATANIC Muslim Government and EXPOSE and REVEAL their DICKLESS and BALLESS PUSSIES for the whole world to see! Palin's GOD WARRIORS will WIPE OUT the Basiji and the Islamic government OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH and install a democratic government run entirely by women! This new government will abolish the hijab and all forms of Islamic fundamentalist behavior!

  • Am i the only one that see's the hypocrisy  here? All of a sudden you tube is the bastion of free speech! When the censorship of our own country on this very site is legendary. What's wrong with this picture?

  • Kudos to YOUTUBE for making this platform available. I check out YouTube daily and then some and have often discovered breaking news before the "broadcast networks" share their diluted version, again I say Kudos.

  • maybe iran has no control over you tube but CHINA has some sort of direct or indirect control.

  • and the way they handled third party coverage during the presidential election was horrendous, next time list the candidates evenly, not a giant space for the democrat and the republican, then tiny spaces for third parties, or even omitting some, like gravel was for a while, you want to be "agnostic", act like it.
