Should a private company have those rights? We meed corporate reform in America.

Should the people who work at & run companies have freedom of association? Yes, I think they should. There are narrow exceptions for things like utilities, where a monopoly is the only sane way to run the service (we can't have 12 separate gas/power/water/sewer/phone/internet lines run to every house), but that situation doesn't apply to an Internet video hosting company.

We already have a well-established mechanism for reigning in companies that are too powerful: anti-trust law. All we need to do is enforce it.
