Canadian judge rules the thumbs up emoji counts as a contract agreement (www.engadget.com)

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.

what about: "👌"

Edit: as always if you look into the proceedings the ruling makes a lot more sense ^^ Still I wonder if this sets a precidence.

I feel like that's even more of an agreement than a thumbs up.
