The article says that according to the guy who sued him, he had accepted the terms of a contract through text message.

However, it doesn’t say that according to the guy that sued him, he had accepted a contract specifically through the sending of 👍 in a text message in the past.

The article did not say that he had ever used 👍 previously in text to accept a contract. It says that according to the guy who sued him, he had responded through text message in the past to accept a contract.

In this particular case the defendant had a history of using 👍to accept a contract. Had done it NP a dozen times before

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.

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

What exactly does acceptance look like to you? He was offered a contract, gave it a thumbs up, and delivered the goods for the price specified in the contract. It would be ridiculous NOT to treat that as accepting the contract.

Will you clarify: “He was offered a contract, gave it a thumbs up, and delivered the goods for the price specified in the contract.”?

The article says he didn’t deliver the goods for the price after sending a thumbs up.

According to the article:

“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.”

It does not say he accepted any contracts in the past using that emoji. It says that according to the guy who sued him, he has accepted contracts through text message.

It is completely absurd to rule an emoji as an agreement to a contract.
