If you’re having issues with SafeSearch, you can try the following fixes to change your settings.
I see inappropriate content when SafeSearch is turned on
The SafeSearch setting filters explicit results, like pornography, to prevent them from appearing in your search results. While no filter is 100% accurate, turning this setting on helps you avoid explicit content when you search.
Note: Administrators of your device or network can set SafeSearch to always stay on.
If you have SafeSearch turned on, but still see explicit sites or images, let us know.
If you’re searching on images.google.com and see an image you want to report:

My SafeSearch setting keeps turning on
Your internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator can set SafeSearch to always stay on. For example, SafeSearch is sometimes built-in to public wifi networks, operating system family protection settings, or Antivirus software.
If you think your network's SafeSearch setting is overriding your individual setting, contact your ISP or network administrator for more info.
