And #2, I have not done the Google search yet, but I'll wager $5 that I can find links showing private companies having employees surfing for porn.
Ignoring your responsibilities for, uh, personal gratification, is not just a "government issue".
Although not surfing for porn, just surfing the web and wasting time rather than doing your job is a huge workplace issue. I saw a poll last week where 75% of people admit to surfing the web when they are supposed to be working!!

True. But private companies that give a damn about what they're doing are surely going to catch excessive use like this. I worked with a small company here in town that let someone go because she was watching porn on a company computer.
We're not talking about a one-time thing. We're talking about something that was clearly an addiction.
Even if he sought ways around it, you could still catch them. There are ways to block programs like Hotspot Shield and Tor, and there are firewalls that monitor everything that happens on the network. If someone in IT was paying attention they would have easily caught these employees.
