Recent years have witnessed a swelling rise of hateful and abusive contentover online social networks. While detection and moderation of hate speech havebeen the early go-to countermeasures, the solution requires a deeperexploration of the dynamics of hate generation and propagation. We analyze morethan 32 million posts from over 6.8 million users across three popular onlinesocial networks to investigate the interrelations between hateful behavior,information dissemination, and polarised organization mediated by echochambers. We find that hatemongers play a more crucial role in governing thespread of information compared to singled-out hateful content. This observationholds for both the growth of information cascades as well as the conglomerationof hateful actors. Dissection of the core-wise distribution of these networkspoints towards the fact that hateful users acquire a more well-connectedposition in the social network and often flock together to build up informationcascades. We observe that this cohesion is far from mere organized behavior;instead, in these networks, hatemongers dominate the echo chambers -- groups ofusers actively align themselves to specific ideological positions. The observeddominance of hateful users to inflate information cascades is primarily viauser interactions amplified within these echo chambers. We conclude our studywith a cautionary note that popularity-based recommendation of content issusceptible to be exploited by hatemongers given their potential to escalatecontent popularity via echo-chambered interactions.
