The image is still available though pimeyes at full res, but the link no longer works to the website. Where is the image being stored and how does pimeyes access it then?
2 If I request it removed from a pimeyes search, I guess it is removed just from them searching and anyone with pimeyes won't find it. Or is it just my version of pimeye that won't find it. Has anyone checked that?
3 - is there another face recognition service available and if you subscribe to that (or even worse if it is free) will the images show up on that? I am assuming yes?
BTW pimeyes is absolutely incredible. I was so shocked at what came up that didn't show on yandex or google.

1. Websites have the option to remove the photo by 'soft deleting' the image. This removes the image from view, but it is actually still stored in the database. So when a sophisticated image search does it's thing it finds all the images included in the database and that includes those soft deleted images. So you may want to request that the site to hard delete or physically remove the image permanently from their database so that it won't show up in image searches.
2. I don't know. You might try looking to see if Pimeyes has contact info and send them a message asking your question. I do know that you can request Google to remove images and they will do it with a written request.
3.I would assume the same thing.
