China's top media regulator has ordered the removal and revision of Papi Tyan's videos due to her rough language and vulgar content, according to People's Daily.
Papi Tyan is the nickname for the producer behind a series of widespread short, funny online videos.
The blogger has responded on Weibo that she accepts the criticism and will revise the videos.
Yang Ming, the CEO of Papi Tyan's team, also said that they have been made aware of their shortcomings and will heed the authorities' call for revision.
With a sharp eye for the ironic and the bizarre, Papi Tyan sometimes uses sarcastic expressions to criticise or mock social ills in her videos and has won over ten million followers on Weibo.
The media authorities have said that only after meeting their requirements can her videos be re-posted.
It is reported that the verbal order is not directed against Papi Tyan only, as many other video websites are asked to revise their videos.
