If Jones was truly silenced by Apple, Google, FB, and Spotify, how is it he also has a larger audience?

Removing him from their list is a minor inconvenience, looks nothing like the worst acts of censorship in human history.

You know how you can find Alex Jones: google.com, duckduckgo.com

It was a superficial act. You seem to get that by labeling it a failure.

I agree it was not effective, but it's still very concerning that these companies coordinated to do this. Not every action they coordinate on will come to light like this and thus may actually be somewhat effective (think actions against regular users).
