IIRC the rationalization he used was that the person who uploaded the photos, not the subject, was the copyright holder because they were the photographer, thus there was no copyright infringement. I don't know how he verified that, if at all.

A request to take down a picture that you clearly owned copyright on (i.e. camera and mirror) would usually result in you being ridiculed on the front page of the site, with requests to other users to find more photos of you, where you lived and worked and to harass you.
