A private company surely has the right to decide not to host such content

And a company can absolutely do that, but paying that much attention to the content of the media changes their responsibilities under the DMCA and Section 230 of the CDA.

They've always paid attention to the content so the could ban porn. The DMCA says they must not be aware that the content is infringing, and you can't know that just by looking at it.
