This mildly surprised me, doesn't seem explicit enough, a thumbs up can represent having received but not necessarily agreed, strange new world

Judge considered their previous history of transactions where they had completed similar deals with short responses over text. "Yeah", "looks good", etc.

Thumbs up emoji would be considered a reasonable sign of acceptance given their previous history

It makes sense to me. Intent matters a lot in contract law. As long as itโ€™s unambiguous that the parties intended to accept the contract, it shouldnโ€™t really matter what form that acceptance takes.

That's a good point I hadn't considered and definitely puts it in perspective
