The Federal Communications Commission is backtracking on its net neutrality stance. A proposal released in April would have allowed for the creation of a two-tiered internet. Internet service providers would be permitted to charge content providers for faster user downloads, making it harder for users to access the content of the providers who don't pay. After a public backlash, the FCC is making changes to ensure all parties have equal access, but many digital rights activists are concerned the changes may not go far enough. According to attorney and internet activist Kevin Zeese, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is scared of Comcast, preventing him from implementing actual change. RT's Ameera David discussed the issue with Zeese in our Washington studio.

1. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is scared of Comcast...

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is scared of Comcast? How can Comcast prevent him from implementing actual change? Or is he scared of not getting that big Comcast bonus they promised him? Maybe Tommy should be really scared of the 1+ million emails demanding net neutrality.

2. This isn't fear.. this is a takeover.

Let us not confuse fear with complicity. He isn't scared, they want this sooooo bad.
