    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

      This makes a ton more sense and also is missing from Engadget’s summary of things which is annoying, is only in the linked article

      It makes sense to me. Intent matters a lot in contract law. As long as it’s unambiguous that the parties intended to accept the contract, it shouldn’t really matter what form that acceptance takes.
