A Canadian judge has ruled that the popular “thumbs-up” emoji not only can be used as a contract agreement, but is just as valid as an actual signature. The Saskatchewan-based judge made the ruling on the grounds that the courts must adapt to the “new reality” of how people communicate, as originally reported by The Guardian.
I mean if you’re going to dismiss the other party with simply a “👍” that leaves it very open to interpretation. IMO farmer deserves it. Plus, if you read the backstory and circumstances, this was a renewal of a contract they had signed many times over many years before, implying the thumb would be a positive affirmation and not a neutral one.
