If you need to preface the fact that you don't know someone by saying it three times, you definitely know them.
They don't understand what the internet is. These are people that used to think the AOL CD was the internet.
I don't know who Alex Jones is, or ever heard anything he has said, so I'm in no way able to offer an informed decision. With that said let me tell you why you're wrong.
Let's see, B rate actor, extremely shitty hot takes on Twitter, absolute moron, say hello to the 2024 gop candidate for president.

He's not banned from the Internet.
He's banned from social media platforms whose EULA he broke with his behavior.

Social media giants aren't run by the government, slander, libel, and incitations to violence are not protected speech even if they were.

He isn't "banned from the internet," he's banned from popular mainstream sites. He's free to spew his nonsense from the fringes through whatever extremist sites will accept him.
Honestly, this is no different from the way major television networks wouldn't host programs headlined by white supremacists or religious fundamentalists and... oh... right...
Well, most major networks wouldn't do that.
