    TikTok is challenging Canada’s shutdown order.

    The Canadian government ordered the shutdown of TikTok’s Canadian operations last month, though the shutdown wouldn’t bar Canadians from using the app.

    “We believe it’s in the best interest of Canadians to find a meaningful solution and ensure that a local team remains in place, alongside the TikTok platform,” TikTok says.

    Toem is getting a sequel.

    Toem 2 was just announced as part of the Wholesome Games’ latest showcase. I loved the original, a charming photography game in black and white, and I can’t wait to snap some more virtual photographs in the new game.

    Its developers, Something We Made, are targeting a 2026 launch.

    Playables with pals.

    YouTube is now testing multiplayer on two of its casual Playables games, Ludo Club (which is basically Sorry!) and Magic Tiles 3 (a music game).

    More new Playables features are on the horizon: “We’re just getting started testing out new features for YouTube Playables with more to come in the future,” YouTube says.
