Private censorship by semi-monopolies is a sticky situation. Even so, it's better than the way things were. Pre-internet, it was network television, local newspaper, or bust. Those platforms make facebook and youtube look like free speech fantasy-lands. As for the actual question, at least Alex Jones still has his own website... until cloudflare decides to block him. That's what really sucks about the whole thing; since we refuse to police the internet with civil law, we have unelected and unaccountable private entities policing it instead. With a judge and a jury, the wheels may have turned slowly, but at least there was a chance to put the case forward. Now all of the rights are firmly on the side of the service provider, and all the rest of us can do is squeal loudly enough to where--hopefully--one of the wizards behind the algorithm is forced to take action.
