2. As long as the work is getting done, then who cares if they surf the net
The only danger I can imagine of having employees be allowed to surf the net, besides potential loss of productivity, is security risks. Employees might be passing on corporate information, or might be doing something illegal. But people who would do that don't need internet to do those things. It can be accomplished just as easily with a phone.

3. I read that employees were using passwords on porn sites...
that enabled hackers to access the corporate computers.

I think that would constitute a threat to security.

4. Even without that, looking at porn at a work site is a potential problem
It can create a hostile atmosphere.
