By default for me (in the UK) it still seems possible to view porn in a Google image search in an incognito browser tab. I don't think non technical parents can be expected to change their DNS settings to something safe to block it. I'm a bit unclear as to what the online safety bill is solving if Google can ignore it.
I 100% agree that today expecting average parents to manage DNS is unreasonable. My point is that sites need to provide some sort of consistent way for inappropriate content to be identified, then software will evolve to make it easy for non-technical parents to apply the restrictions.
ISPs can provide dns or ip filtering by default which can be opted in or out in the account control page.
In fact I thought they did.
