"Jordan Peterson's Fiery Response to Canadian Court's Support for Censorship Attempt"

A Canadian court has upheld the sanctioning of psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which has targeted him for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism, and the Canadian government. The court ordered Peterson to pay a fine of $25,000 and undergo a social media education program. The organization is punishing Peterson for his public comments, including on social media and during podcast appearances, rather than any interactions with patients. Peterson has vowed to make every aspect of the case public and criticized the court's decision, asserting that free speech rights in Canada are delusional.

Emoji as Legally Binding Contracts: Court Rulings and Fines

A Canadian court has ruled that a thumbs-up emoji can be considered an official agreement to enter a contract. The decision came from a dispute between a farmer and a grain buyer, where the farmer responded to a contract with a thumbs-up emoji. The court determined that the emoji served as a valid way to convey acceptance of the contract, meeting the requirements of the Sale of Goods Act. This ruling sets a new standard for the linguistic role of emojis in official communications, although it may open the door for debates on the meaning of other emojis in future cases.
