I wonder if they will take emoji cultural context into consideration? What about subcultures?
To my metal friends, 🤘 that could be yes. Hippy-ish folx hit me with ✌️
I think the original story mentioned that the farmer was already using the thumb’s up emoji previously to accept contacts.
Not quite the emojis, but one or two-word texts. Judge just decided that it was at least 51% likely that the emoji in this particular case amounted to the same thing.
Sorry, it said that he was using text messaging to accept contracts, not emoji.
