As long as they process openly available data I do not see a difference from searching your name on the internet in terms of the gdpr. They also responded to the request (maybe not fast enough) . Deletion would be a difficult thing maybe to be fully compliant to eu regulations .if its ethical is another story...

Wrong.
PII may only be processed if you have explicitly consent for the exact purpose you want to use it for.
There is no "open" personal data you may just use for anything.

Not exactly. Consent is one of six allowed ways to process PII. It’s just that for advertising/tracking use its probably the only one that you can use.

And biometrics (which would include images of faces) are a special category of data with stricter restrictions.
Can you back your claim? Its true that the data is still personal but a lower level of protec to ion is applied. Except for children as i remember. There is need for notification but exceptions if not realistically feasible . Sorry on my phone with child sleeping in my arm.
Here is an article I could quickly come up with in English
https://iapp.org/news/a/publicly-available-data-under-gdpr-m...
Just saw that data used for biometric purposes is under special protection beyond typical pii. That seems to be the basis for current investigations.
How is a Facebook profile openly available? Facebook probably gets pii via unreasonably broad blanket opt-outs, which is itself problematic, then it is shared with / not kept safe from a third party.

It's literally on a pubicly viewable URL. Do you delete your local copy of any photo view on Facebook?
Good thing I'm not relying on you for my legal questions. GDPR gives the user control over their own data, and each new use of the data requires specific consent be asked. So using PII on any person, no matter where you found it, requires explicit consent.
