From the Mastodon post :
"MapQuest has changed hands several times over the years, having been acquired by AOL shortly after going public. It then ended up with Verizon for a time, as a result of Verizon’s acquisition of AOL. In 2019, Verizon sold MapQuest to internet advertising company System1."
From : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System1#History
"In October 2019, System1 bought MapQuest from Verizon.[12] Cory Doctorow opined, as soon as MapQuest was bought by AOL (which was later bought by Verizon), that it was doomed to die. Verizon had dumped MapQuest to System1 for such a small sum, it was "not material enough for Verizon to file paperwork".[12]"
