In episode 3 of The Internet Ruined My Life season 1, titled "Sext Gone Wrong," viewers are introduced to two individuals who fell victim to the dangers of sending explicit messages and photos online. The episode begins with the story of Kristin, a young woman who started a casual relationship with a man she met on a dating app. After a few weeks of messaging, they decided to exchange nude photos. However, the man soon revealed that he was not who he claimed to be, and began threatening to leak Kristin's photos unless she continued to send more.

As Kristin recounts her experience, it becomes clear how quickly a seemingly harmless exchange can spiral out of control. The man, who had initially presented himself as charming and sweet, turned hostile and controlling when Kristin tried to back out of sending more photos. In a matter of days, he had threatened to share her photos with her family and friends, and even created fake social media profiles to harass her further.

The second half of the episode features the story of Jordan, a young man who was the victim of revenge porn. Jordan had sent a video of himself masturbating to his then-girlfriend, who promised to keep it private. However, after they broke up, the video began making its way around their social circle. Jordan describes the humiliation and isolation he felt as people texted him the video and shared it on social media. He even received death threats from strangers who had seen the video online.

Through interviews with experts in the field, the episode explores the devastating impact that these incidents can have on victims. They discuss the legal challenges that arise when trying to combat revenge porn, as well as the difficulties of undoing the damage done to a person's reputation and mental health. Viewers also learn about resources available for victims of online harassment, and the importance of taking steps to protect oneself online.

Overall, "Sext Gone Wrong" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of sharing intimate content online. It highlights the ways in which seemingly harmless exchanges can escalate quickly, and the long-lasting impact that online harassment and revenge porn can have on a person's life.
