Two sisters have sued the founders of Snapchat for using their images without permission to promote the popular app. Sarah and Elizabeth Turner, who both live in Georgia, say cofounders Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy caused them 'emotional distress, embarrassment and the loss of pecuniary value of the use of their photographs, images and likenesses’ when they led them to believe that their pictures, which they took for free in 2011, would be used for a 'class project'. In most of the pictures, the girls - who were 18 and 19 years old at the time - are shown on the beach in bathing suits. One of the images, however, is cropped to make them appear naked, as if one sister is pulling the other one's top off, according to the lawsuit.
