Not really. I have always been a bit stricter but not that much more. Although there has been a few occasions he surprised me by being stricter than I was. The only thing we don't do is disagree in front of the kids. I tend to be more of the worry wart than he is.
I am also a married single mom...DH is a great guy, a good provider...but I do 100% of the parenting and caring for the home. I will give that in an emergency, he may step in...but the few emergencies we've had, he's been out of town anyway.
It's probably best to check out what's going on with your DD and the Internet. 2 incidents is more than enough.
I will say I see the same descriptions enough on this board to think that some things are just typical for males of a certain age group. Im not sure we should always be fighting that, KWIM?
Men worry about finances. I have a long time friend who is so furious with her DH about taking a promotion and transfer, that she is considering divorce. The DH just isnt getting it because, in his mind, career and financial success is HOW to take care of a wife and family. They start counseling next week and I hope it helps but I think we need to realize(not necessarily blindly accept)that guys have often been raised this way and do better with concrete measurable ways of judgment and money is certainly one of those!
I think you can investigate the computer issue without hiring a lawyer. It sounds like your babysitter is a good resource and surely would help you with this. Have you even seen these pictures yet? Im not clear on that! People vary greatly in their definition of 'inappropriate' so Id sure want to see for myself

Take care.
My husband and I are pretty much on the same page regarding what the rules are and what is expected.
No, we don't parent the same at all.
