Note that in the US they're protected by 47 US 230 which says they can

Feel free to point me at some reading materials to answer this question, but:
Isn't that statement contradictory to what happened to MAPS?
I don't recall that 47 US 230 was the basis of any action against
MAPS; plaintiffs tended to cite violations of various anti-trust or
anti-competitive statutes. In any event, I don't recall an instance in
which plaintiff ultimately prevailed on the merits. Prevailed, yes; on
the merits, no.
All the best,
