This employee is probably addicted to porn. He probably works in a room alone, where he can get away with it, and the temptation is too great.
It's easy to treat this person with contempt, but that is the low road. More likely, this person needs some help, much like a gambling addict or alcoholic. And he likely did rely on the internet filter to help him. The filter will not cure the addiction, to be sure. But it would have helped this person stay employed.
I think Anthony Weiner is a similar situation. The man has an addiction or another psychological problem. While a filter would not have stopped the underlying cause, it would have likely stopped the outcome. A man could have saved a congressional career, a family, a marriage. But until the person actively seeks help, the underlying compulsions will not change.
