Which of the following app has temporary banned by PTA on 1st July, 2020?
(a) Tiktok
(b) PUBG
(c) WeChat
(d) None of these
Answer: (b)

Explanation: The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA), on July 1, placed a temporary ban on popular mobile video game Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). Through a notice issued on their website and official social media accounts, the Authority stated that the game was “addictive, wastage of time and poses serious negative impact on physical and psychological health of the children”. PTA’s decision came after it was directed by the Lahore High Court (LHC) in a hearing dated 25th May, 2020, to determine whether the game was appropriate for the public.

Who has signed an order to regulate social media platforms?
(a) Donald Trump
(b) Tsai Ing-wen
(c) Angela Merkel
(d) Kim Jong Un
Answer: (a)

Explanation: President Donald Trump signed an executive order designed – in theory – to make it easier to sue social media companies such as Twitter, days after the site placed a fact check label on two of his tweets. While the order calls for changes in regulations that shield social media companies from legal liability, the Trump administration cannot do that on its own. Those changes can only be made by independent agencies and, ultimately, the courts.

Which among the following nations has banned Hezbollah and designated it a terrorist organisation?
(a) France
(b) Denmark
(c) Switzerland
(d) Germany
Answer: (d)

Explanation: Germany has banned all Iran-backed Hezbollah activity on its soil and designated it a terrorist organization. Israel and the United States had been pushing Germany to ban the organisation. Germany had previously distinguished between Hezbollah’s political arm and its military units, which have fought alongside President Bashar al-Assad’s army in Syria. Last December (2019) , Germany’s parliament approved a motion urging Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government to ban all activities by Hezbollah on German soil, citing its “terrorist activities” especially in Syria.

Answer: (c)

Madrid announced that “religious celebrations and civilian funeral ceremonies are postponed until the end of the alert,” which has been declared until at least April 11th and keeps the population confined. The new measures cut to just three the number of people who can attend a burial or cremation and social distancing of one to two metres must be maintained.
