However, make no mistake that it's a valid inference to assume the POTUS shares the views of his appointees...

I am a big believer in technology and I'm a big believer in openness when it comes to the flow of information. I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable. They can begin to think for themselves. That generates new ideas. It encourages creativity.

Every single view of every single appointee? I don't think that's safe to assume.
Sunstein is well known for his academic writings, which touch on everything from constitutional law to behavioral economics.
I was also disappointed with Johnny's failure to present both sides of the issues he discussed. I know some call this a "conspiracy board", but it would be nice to see the skeptical side of these issues shown and covered as well.

Until reassured otherwise, I think it's rather safe to project the views of a hand selected appointee as being those that are shared by the President.

The published views of this person in that position is alarming... and actually has nothing to do with Internet neutrality.
Johnny is tasked with representing the tone and flow of discussion on ATS, and he does that very well. For this particular issue, the overwhelming majority of the discussion ranged from outrage or highly-speculative worse-case scenarios.
Think about it... a Harvard law professor, specializing in constitutional law, who advocates clandestine disinformation to disrupt free expression... has been appointed to a position by the President where he may be in both an authority and advisory position to act on his policy recommendations.
