Twitter said that it now removes more than 50 per cent of all abusive tweets before users report them.
The disciplinary action by university authorities followed protests by students against certain Twitter posts by two professors of the university, Dilip Mandal and Mukar Kumar, which they termed as casteist.
Despite reporting systems in place, Twitter says that it is more proactive in removing harmful content even before someone puts in a complaint.
Twitter said that it now removes more than 50 per cent of all abusive tweets before users report them, The Verge reports.
Twitter, which uses automated moderation tools that leverage machine learning for faster identification and moderation, said automated flagging has grown from 43 per cent of all abusive tweets last quarter.
