American here - I believe that the comment means "you cannot fire an engineer from their job for this reason (connecting a USB device with porn to a work comput

  That's what I would guess too. In general it is much, much harder to fire somebody in the EU than it is in most US states where you can fire for pretty much any reason as long as it's not for being a protected class.

  I couldn’t interpret it as anything else as well, but that still leaves me severely confused. Like, is that supposed to be a brag that in EU it is nearly impossible to fire an employee for watching porn on the employer-provided work equipment? If anything, I would consider firing them for being so stupid as to not consider one of many easily accessible alternatives that they almost certainly had access to, like a smartphone (just hopefully not an employer-provided one).
