So it just depends whether you trust her that she is just using it to make friends (you know her best but I'd be really surprised if many people would really chose to use tinder for that, it sounds like something you'd just say to your parents tbh  )

Exactly Jamie. That's the thing, people saying it's legal so she can do what she likes. Yes it's technically legal but as a parent you're supposed to be looking out for your kids and trying to stop them making mistakes that could ruin their lives. I don't mean to sound condescending at all but when you're that age I don't think you think through just what could potentially happen in situations like this. How many stories have we heard about young girls being blackmailed after sending dodgy pictures to people online, or even people committing suicide when pictures have been shared online etc
