I don't think this is particularly surprising. Handshakes can form legal contracts, and contracts can be formed orally. There's no reason why an image couldn't indicate acceptance of a contract, generally speaking (certain specific types of contract may require additional formalities).

๐Ÿ‘ can also be sarcastic, like your contract is so dumb, I'm not even properly replying to it. Such a dumb ruling.

You've got a point, there's some danger here, but I would have zero sympathy if someone ignored the fact that sarcasm isn't communicated well in text.

I don't know, I think a thumbs up is clear acceptance tbh.
