Abstract
Social media is an important communication medium in these days. Twitter is famous as microblogging service. It has been reported that social bots have been used in Twitter widely. In this research, we aim to understand whether bots are selective in the topics they participate or not. To this end, we explore tweets on FIFA World Cup. Our analysis indicate that there are bot activities even in tweets related to soccer (football) events but not just political topics.
