Yes, a private company could do that unless there were a specific law to the contrary, which, as far as I know, there isn't.
Although Americans like to talk about their "constitutional right" to do xyz, the reality is that the constitution is a set of restrictions on what
government can do. First amendment rights are rights that protect the citizen from the government, not the citizen from another citizen.
