'bot' appears to be colloquial name for NPCs paid to post comments along the party lines (live humans working for low wages, allegedly often remunerated in food - sandwiches etc.) "SNS" is the ruling party (right wingers converted to euroiberals.)

bots have written about 10 million comments on 201,717 published news .
Only 24 hours ahead of the Executive Committee meeting through the SNS
system passed 1,147 news that the party bots made over 43,000 comments.
