Private companies don't have to host a platform for anyone for any reason whatsoever.
These companies currently are not utilities in any way. They may constitute monopolies, but unfortunately our idiot legislature seems to love oligopolies and monopolies.
If you want a platform you'll have to build or contract it with someone willing to do so, they're rights as a private entity still exists to not contract with you.
As far as silencing anyone, are you really that weak you can't survive without youtube or facebook just means you're incredibly weak and haven't much support to begin with more than entertainment curiosity.
Secondly, Alex Jones has promoted violence against various people in hair brain conspiracies that the mentally ill and just stupid have actually done. And those prosecutions have occurred along with civil actions from Sandy Hook parents on Alex Jones, they may also sue youtube and facebook and other platforms that provide them the platform, so they're doing it to protect their own interest not to have such people, same as they're code of conduct to bar people posting copy righted material, they don't want to be sued either. Because they are, constantly.
Lazy reporting from you that various parties aren't taking this to court to the fullest extent possible; you can google and see all the law suits being filed as well as criminal cases.
And judges can order prisoners to silence, you literally lose all your rights as a convict other than what legislature allows generally appeals process to that conviction and until the sentence is over including probation, in fact the constitution allows servitude/slave labor when you're duly convicted prisoner. When you're convicted you have very few rights specifically for convicts: prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, right to a speedy trial in the sense of an appeal process set by legislature because its not described in the constitution, not being found guilty due to having family relationship with another duly convicted person which itself is so illogical in our day it's hardly worth mentioning.
Essentially, you cannot be tortured, starved, and treated poorly in an unsafe environment during your prison term and/or probation or community service.
I understand your concern for censorship. I am too. But removing one off a private platform is not covered under the constitution. You're wanting an NPR and PBS type internet platform, than you should petition for it.
And even then, some of the actions by Jones such as death threats, would not be allowed on any platform as they aren't on C-Span and the websites of NPR and PBS and other local public broadcasting systems.
