The Internet serves as a potent platform, enabling individuals to connect and conduct transactions across international boundaries. However, this same capability also facilitates the ease with which people can, often under the veil of anonymity, issue threats or share content they disapprove of. This series explores the narratives of individuals whose lives were upended by seemingly innocuous actions like tweeting or updating their social media status. Each episode highlights the experiences of two individuals whose worlds were dramatically altered by a few simple keystrokes. Among the true stories are those of a woman who faced death threats after tweeting for the cancellation of a cable show, a British man who was detained by the Department of Homeland Security due to a misunderstanding of British slang, and a woman who had to leave her town after receiving violent threats for using an incorrect emoji on Facebook.
