    The article doesn’t say that. It says that according to the guy who sued him, he used text message before to accept a contract. It doesn’t say that he had ever responded to a contract with a thumbs up emoji before.

    “Mickleborough said the emoji amounted to an agreement because he had texted numerous contracts to Achter, who previously confirmed through text message and always fulfilled the order.”

    No mention of thumbs up emoji having been used prior to this particular thumbs up emoji incident. Are you referencing an alternate source?

      I think I must be, because I don’t have access to the Globe. Perhaps this event was posted a couple of times and I read it elsewhere.
