: Content removal with Http response of 200 in these days I find out that an image hosting service called pixroute.com has a strange behavior when notified with a DMCA notice. It basically replace

@Berumen354

As long as pixroute.com is not returning a 404 not found or 410 gone error when trying to access the image then Google will not remove it from the index as the crawler doesn't realise that the image is gone. Unfortunately there is nothing you can really do about this as it depends on pixroute.com applying a change to the application code to return a 410 gone error even if the placerholder image is still returned so that the Googlebot knows that the image is gone and the link is no longer valid and never will be again.
