If you are hiring people that later need to be fired for doing porn, heroin, sexual harassment,... Maybe the problem is not them.

How do you filter for porn addiction during your interview process?
What a wild assertion.

For many of these problems, the only way you might know ahead of time is if you did a really extensive background check. Such a process would mostly be a waste.

It's perfectly reasonable and fair to hire people, provide clear standards of conduct, and fire those who fail the standard.
