15 year old Dd and inappropriate messaging of strangers- am i wrong?

I spot-check my Dd messages every few days, the last few weeks she has been very secretive and i havnt been able to get hold of her phone, she is 15 and studies hard, behaves mostly, and other than a very rare hormonal strop, is a good kid.

She accidently left her phone on the sofa when she went to the toilet, so i had a peek. She was logged into twitter and still in her messages so i read the first page, they were x-rated messages to and from my dd and another female. Dd saw i had her phone, flew at me and slapped me then ran off to her bedroom where she logged into twitter on another device and started deleting the messages.

Im so mad that shes messaging the content she is, and from what i saw its been going on a couple of weeks, and the other person is a total stranger to her that lives in the U.S.A. She is well aware of what can happen with talking to strangers online, she knows i dont allow it.

I was so angry that she had been doing this and had slapped me, that i threw her phone out of the window and the screen shattered, took her devices off her and told her i was not having that inappropriate behaviour and shes barred off the internet until she is 16, unless it was for school then i will sit with her. She has since sneaked downstairs during the night and used my kindle to set up another twitter account and added the same people to it as i had objected about in the first place. I shouted at her and let her know just how wrong this is, going behind my back sneakily, iv deleted all her social media accounts and told her shes not leaving the house again unless its for school. Shes not talking to me now and i know shes going to find some other way to set up again- what can i do?

I think now you know what you did you'll be more aware and not do it again and not will she! I hope you found answers to who the person was and whether she was in too deep etc.
