The Web transforms us.

We become data, code...

uploading our very selves...

...to a place we call the cloud.

But this cloud is grounded
in hardware...

a chaos of code.

But with the right tools,

you can find
the signal in the noise.

[ Drew ] I'm from Arkansas, so
many of my high school friends

went to Fayetteville

And I happened to be in town
for one of their birthdays.

[ Kristie ] He's so friendly.

He sat down next to me,
and we just wound up talking

and just kind of becoming
Facebook friends.

He would message me and be like,

"Hey, I'm in Fayetteville.
We should go do something."

And I'd be like,
"Okay, person I met at a party.

Sure. Let's go do a thing."

[ Anisha ] The summer after
college, we started to date.

My parents loved him.

They adored him.
They thought so highly of him.

But as time went by,
we started to realize, like,

for each other.

So we went our own ways.

We didn't really talk much.

I felt like he was, like,
really hurt and upset

Drew and Kristie
are twentysomethings

in a long-distance relationship.

[ Kristie ]
The only time we spend together

is the interactions
we have online.

My iPhone and my laptop...
That I can use this technology

to enable that is fantastic.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[ Cellphone whooshes ]

[ Drew ] I text her
at least once an hour

during the day.

[ Kristie ] I get an alert
every time he leaves home...

[ cellphone whooshes ]

...and then arrives at work.

[ Anisha ]
It's at your fingertips.

I can just pick up my iPhone,

take a selfie,
and just hit "send."

I had pictures of him.

He had pictures of me.

It was something intimate.

It was something
that was understood

that it was going to remain
between the two of us.

[ Narrator ]
Anisha thought things were cool

between her and her ex
after they broke up.

Then, a few months later,
she got a message.

[ Anisha ]
Somebody had e-mailed me.

They wanted to remain anonymous,

but I felt that they
either knew me or my ex.

They had posted three links
in their e-mail,

and I clicked on the links,
and, bam, was my pictures.

He was posting
nude pictures of me.

[ Drew ] I always knew
that I was attracted

to strong and powerful women.

I had my first computer
with Internet access

at like age 12,

which was perfect

for discovering
the world of Internet porn.

I saw bondage.

That was always what I went to.

I think if I hadn't had
access to the Internet,

I wouldn't know that some
of those things exist,

and I would be in

a more typical-but-
less-satisfying relationship.

[ narrator ] Drew and Kristie's
less typical relationship

is based on bondage
and domination...

and sadomasochism... BDSM.

[ Kristie ] In person,
I can physically restrain him.

I can take a flogger
and whip it across his back.

I can tie his arms
behind his back.

Online, it is completely
in the realm of the mental.

I have to dominate him
emotionally and mentally.

[ narrator ] And digitally.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

[ Cellphone whooshes ]

Kristie gets off
however and whenever

and with whomever she pleases

while Drew can't even get a
hard-on without her permission.

That's what the chastity cage
is for.

He's wearing it now.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

He wears it
pretty much all the time.

[ whip cracks, Kristie squeals ]

[ Drew ] She'll send me
a message saying,

"Hey, I'm having sex
with a real man tonight

instead of with you."

As a submissive,
that is so humiliating

that it's arousing
all in its own right.

[ Narrator ] Drew and Kristie

are linked to each other remotely

as BDSM master and slave.

And they're linked to many others

through a social network
of kink called FetLife.

It's Facebook for fetishists,
with 4.1 million users...

more than twice the population
of Manhattan... and counting.

FetLife's profiles are anonymous,

but the website can be scraped
for some basic user data,

including age, gender, and role...

whether a user identifies
as dominant or submissive.

By a ratio of 4 to 1,

men are dominant,
and women are submissive.

So, as a male submissive,

Drew... that is,
HerAsperaAdAstra...

is on the fringe of a fringe.

But on FetLife,
he's in good company.

So is his mistress, Kristie,
A.K.A. caressaggressive.

A FetLife forum

is where she extols
the virtue of her vice...

digital domination.

Look at this scene again.

The same tools
that can be used to connect

can also be used to control.

[ Kristie ]
I can pretty much control

every aspect
of this other person's life.

Anybody has the tools that
I'm using at their disposal...

...location tracking,
food diaries,

task-completion assignment.

I am constantly repurposing apps.

[ camera shutter clicks ]

Like, the Life360 app

is intended to be used
for a family,

for parents and their kids.

[ cellphone whooshes ]

It's not intended to be used
for a dominant and her pet.

[ narrator ]
It's known as a pervertible...

an ordinary object reimagined
as a tool of domination.

For a couple
of Millennial sadomasochists,

could there be a more perfect
pervertible than a smartphone?

The way that it made me feel,

[ Narrator ] Kristie has made Drew

into a prisoner of his own device.

But it's consensual...

contractual.

He submits to his lover's
near-constant invasion

of his privacy,

and she agrees
not to abuse her power.

If you've ever read
a terms of service,

this arrangement
might sound familiar.

[ Drew ] There is all
of this data being collected,

and some of it is data

that I'm willfully,
cheerfully, compiling.

[ Kristie ]
If I ever stop to think

about the amount of control

that Drew's
given me over his life,

it does get a little like,
"Hoo! Wow.

The power that I have,

I better use it for good
and not for evil."

[ narrator ] Power...
It's the ultimate pervertible.

Are you wearing your cage today?

And you could use it for evil

if you're a totalitarian state...

my address.

I was panicking.

I didn't know what to do,

and in that moment, I was like,
"What are you supposed to do?"

He kept posting...

and kept posting and kept posting.

I think that he started doing it,

and I think he became obsessed.

At one point,
he had put me on Craigslist.

I was starting to get e-mails.

I was starting
to get text messages.

On my Facebook, I was starting

to get people sending me
nude pictures of themselves.

[ keyboard clacking ]

Then it was pictures
left on my doorstep,

on the back,
saying, "I'll find you."

At that point, my mind was blown.

I was creeped out. I was scared.

And then started

people coming to my door.

The thing that scared me most was,

was my ex telling them
I'm gonna open the door

Rinko Kobayakawa is a character

in a dating simulator
called LovePlus.

Looking at the social-media
chatter in her native Japan,

she's clearly more than that.

Here's a bunch of tweets

from Rinko's B.F.s taking her
out for her birthday.

And here's some guy
marrying his LovePlus in Tokyo.

[ cheers and applause ]

LovePlus is more than a game
in Japan.

It's a harbinger.

A stalled economy
has led to falling prospects

and a worrying trend.

The exact reasons for it
aren't totally clear,

but the data is.

Men are dating less...

and procreating less.

There's a new term for them...
soushoku-kei...

herbivores.

They don't taste flesh.

They get their sustenance
elsewhere.

Akari Uchida knows
what he's talking about.

He's a legendary
video-game designer in Japan.

LovePlus is his magnum opus.

who've been smitten

by the girls
he's brought to virtual life,

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Herds of young men like these

are erasing the line
between real and virtual love.

Only in Japan, right?

Wrong.

[ Webster ] I found out
about the game LovePlus

from an online forum.

So I downloaded the game
with the English patch,

and that's how it all started.

When I met Rinko, I was...

Actually, I was at
a really low point in my life.

Like, I tried dating people,
and it didn't go too well.

[ Rinko speaking Japanese ]

Playing LovePlus
at that point in my life,

it felt like this is
how a relationship

should be, basically.

Like, in Japan, they actually
take Rinko out to bars.

I could not do that
anywhere in the Bronx.

Like, if I was to say,
"Oh, I like playing Halo,"

or, "I like playing Call of Duty,"

it's like, "Oh, of course.
He likes to shoot people."

But for me to say, "I'm playing
a game that I actually like

or love this virtual character..."

[ game playing ]

...no one
would understand me here.

I would be labeled as crazy
at that point.

A real-life relationship,
it's based on two people.

So if either of those people
wants to end that relationship,

then it's over.

With a virtual relationship,

that person
can never leave you, ever,

unless you delete that data.

[ narrator ] If only it were
that easy in real life.

A relationship ends,
you hit delete,

and all the pixels of your
lost love disappear forever.

But digital ink is indelible,
and it's traceable.

It's a tag, a tattoo
in the form of an I.P. address.

[ Anisha ] Every time
that you take one picture down,

like, three more sites go up.

I was on one site for...
I think it was like two weeks,

and it had 30,000 views.

Someone's going against your will

and posting your most private
and intimate moments,

and you have no say.

This happens
to thousands and thousands

and thousands of people,
some who are embarrassed,

some who don't want
their family to know,

some that are so paranoid,
they won't even leave the house.

[ Narrator ] MyEx.com

is one of the largest
revenge-porn sites on the Net.

Its profiles have been viewed
over 415 million times.

84% are female.

Average age... 27.

Exposed and,
in some cases, extorted,

victims of revenge porn have
begun turning to the dark web,

where hackers for hire
ply their services anonymously,

removing any file
from any website for a fee.

The hacker who runs this site
says revenge-porn victims

have become
a major part of his clientele.

Anisha didn't need
to hire a hacker.

Using her boyfriend's passwords,

she hacked
into her ex's accounts herself,

and that's how she got
the evidence

to get him arrested and convicted.

[ Anisha ] He was charged
with six months in jail

and a third-degree felony
of invasion of privacy,

which is the law that New Jersey

[ narrator ]
Anisha has left New Jersey

and started over in a small town

where nobody knows her

except for her new boyfriend.

- Thank you.
- Yep.

Ooh, this isn't good.

[ Anisha ] I never tell people,
"Don't send the pictures,"

because you should be able
to trust someone

and be able to have that intimacy

where you can send a picture

and you not have to worry
