Snapchat to Judge: Make This Guy's Mouth Disappear

Founders want alleged partner to quit leaks in lawsuit

Snapchat wants a gag order on an early partner who is suing them for potentially billions of dollars.

Snapchat, a pioneer in disappearing photo sharing, is backed by VC heavyweights such as Benchmark Capital.
