Twitter Inc said it had suspended 100,000 accounts for creating new accounts after a suspension during January-March period, a 45 per cent increase from last year.
"Previously, we only reviewed potentially abusive Tweets if they were reported to us. We know that's not acceptable, so earlier this year we made it a priority to take a proactive approach to abuse in addition to relying on people's reports," the social media company said in a blog here post.
Twitter also said three times more abusive accounts were suspended within 24 hours after a report compared with the same time last year.
