/etc/resolv.conf is where you configure one or more DNS servers.
Three is usually optimal.

If you choose DNS servers that resolve everything, you get
everything. If you choose DNS servers run by censors that you
agree with, you get their views. And if you choose DNS servers
run by people whom you disagree with, you get their views.

Make your choice.

I'd put it in other words: DNS doesn't serve porn :-)

Are you sure that no troll have put some funny ASCII-art in their txt
records?

And /etc/resolv.conf may just point to localhost:
nameserver 127.0.0.53

Beware of a clever investigator who may accuse users who store it in
local DNS cache.

Actually Sony tried to suit a DNS provider for not blocking some domains

It isn't supposed to.

You may block specific domains by adding lines like

0.0.0.0 www.google.com

in /etc/hosts. The second part is the domain to block, the first is the IP
address to map it to (0.0.0.0 being localhost, thus preventing connection to
the real server). For more advanced filtering, you may want to use something
like dnsmasq [1, 2].

P.S.: as others and myself already told you - please use meaningful subjects!
