The second one isn't very idiomatic.
"On the internet" is used to indicate that something or someone is accessible or present on the web. For example, "I have a friend on the internet" means that you have a friend who you communicate with or interact with through the internet.
"In the internet" is not a commonly used phrase. It might be used to indicate that something or someone is physically located within the infrastructure of the internet, such as servers or data centers. However, this usage is not common and it would not be easily understood by most people.
