It's even more diffuse/opaque, which I think is a major part of the problem.
Your photo appeared on the gosee.news website, but inside one of the 'blogs' that's featured on the platform. It appears that pretty much anyone can create one of those blogs/portfolios by registering an account on gosee.news and then start uploading content. In this sense, gosee.news, the entity that's registered in Switzerland, is only the provider of the platform. The actual content creator (or the entity
supposed to create content) is a third party that registers an account with them. I guess this doesn't change much w.r.t. the legal liability of the hosting provider (i.e. gosee.news) - it's still
their website and
their responsibility to ensure that the content that they host is legally kosher. However, they weren't the ones who stole your photo and appropriated it - even though, again, they're liable.
It appears that the actual 'blogger' that stole your photo is either a registered user or even a (former) employee or freelancer working for gosee.news - but I suspect the former. Their profile is here:
https://www.gosee.expert/expert/experts-profile/NjE5OQ== The name leads to this LinkedIn profile:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/drphotographyproducer/ If you look at this, it becomes clear that this is (pardon my French) some hopeless nitwit puffed up with hot air trying to make a buck out of basically leeching off other people's work while sitting under a palm tree in a sunny country. Platforms like gosee.news that basically don't give a hoot about what happens, as long as there's loads of traffic being generated without too much police showing up at 'their' P.O. Box 'head office' (note how the only employee findable on LinkedIn is a freelancer), will happily accommodate such good-for-nothing content thieves on the premise that it brings in the punters and the odds of getting busted for anything are pretty minimal. Ultimately, it appears that the responsibility for actually stealing your photo was with the 'Michelle d'Eze' character, whose website can be found here:

Make of this what you will. This is essentially the internet at its worst and frankly, it's beyond me how people like this d'Eze woman would want to profile themselves this way online for everyone to see. Nothing she shows makes her stand out as someone you'd want to professionally engage with - how credible is someone operating from the Dominican Republic as a location scout for Quebec? It's akin like putting on your business card "work with me, I'll mess up anything you ask and steal your stuff in the process". What a dumbass.
The 'apology' you received should apparently indicate best intentions and an honest mistake, but given what a bit of clicking around easily reveals (see above), it's plain to see no best intentions are present, here, and this is basically just a bunch of people deliberately trying to leech other people's work and actually working hard to avoid having to do some actual, honest work themselves.
Generally, I'm pretty nuanced in my views, but in a case like this, I'd have no qualms if someone would take a party like this to the f*ing cleaners.
