It shows that around 54% of the hateful users have the ability to spread a message to over half of the hateful users because of the connection to the largest strongly connected component in the graph, while the other proportion of the hateful users has a small ability to spread messages by retweeting and 40% of hateful users are even isolated as disconnected hateful user. Figure 4 shows the degree distribution of the hate graph of all retweets between hateful users, and Figure 5 illustrates the degree distribution of a random single-spot hate spread graph. These two graphs of degree distributions indicate that the hate-spread retweet graph follows the Power Law. ...
