It’s not like anything official. It’s really just the loose association of people who are tired of baseless ad hominem ruling the Intellectual environment of universities and media. They talk to each other dispite having staunch political disagreement and they want everyone else to return to such intellectual liberalism.

The inclusion of Alex Jones tells you more about the source (and googles priority algorithm) than it does about the dark web itself. Shapiro belongs on the list (he’s not alt-right, he’s their target), Jones does not.

I understand NY Times did a piece on the intellectuals involved. Other mainstream sources did support and opposition pieces of that article.

Basically it’s intellectuals who get de-platformed for their views rather than being countered by intellectual argument. They struggle to get a voice on campuses and are demonitized on YouTube. Facebook, Google etc use Algorithms to shuffle their content away from news and search feeds in exchange for what they deem to be more legitimate content. Alex Jones is not among them. Sam Harris is. As is Joe Rogen. They have people from the left and the right (though mostly on the right).

Though they aren’t alt-right, they are attacked as such. They may also be called racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, and islamaphobe all to justify silencing them where possible, such as on college campuses.
