Kylie Jenner Cries To Sister Kendall Over Nasty Digs About Her Appearanceis getting serious about tackling deepfake AI-generated porn with his latest bill ... which is all about forcing tech companies to do the right thing, and swiftly too.

The Texas senator came on"TMZ Live" Thursday ... telling us how the"Take It Down Act" will federally charge individuals who publish non-consensual content online -- and more importantly, mandate big tech companies to take down such content within 48 hours.TC tells us he got the idea to propose the bill after jumping in to help a Texas high school girl whose deepfake pics ended up on Snapchat for 9 months due to a boy at her school.

According to the senator, the kid got off easy and was just transferred to another school ... nothing more. But, under this new bill -- which Cruz wants to make the law of the land -- pulling the same stunt would land somebody in hot legal water. If the victim is a minor, it could mean 3 years behind bars ... and if they're an adult, it's 2 years in the slammer -- that's what Ted and other bipartisan legislators have proposed.It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning. Yall going too far, Fake ass shit. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.Of course, celebs can have their pics zapped off the internet quickly ...
