KRLD: Senator Ted Cruz introduces bill meant to protect children on Snapchat after boy created deep-fake 'nude photo' of a classmate
You might not think Democrats and Republicans agree on much, but a bill in Washington appears to be bringing both parties together.
Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz introduced the "Take It Down Act" along with Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar. Cruz says a boy in Aledo used an app to change a picture of a 14-year-old classmate to make them appear they were nude.

Cruz told TMZ, the boy was transferred to another school but faced no legal consequences, so this bill would create a criminal offense if someone posts a picture you didn't agree to have shared or if someone uses an app to create a deep-fake.
'But then secondly, and this is a really important piece on the bill, it puts a big legal obligation on big tech that when a victim or victim's family says 'hey these pictures are not me, they're non-consensual, the tech company has 48 hours to take it down," Cruz said.
Cruz says it took nine months and calls from his office to get Snapchat to take down these pictures.
