Thumbs Up Emoji: A Legally Binding Contract?

A Canadian judge has ruled that the thumbs up emoji can be considered a valid contract agreement, ordering a farmer to pay $62,000 after he backed out of a deal. The judge argued that courts must adapt to the "new reality" of communication, and the emoji represented agreement to the conditions of the contract. The decision has raised concerns about the potential interpretations of other emojis in legal contexts.
