Emoji considered binding agreement in Canadian lawsuit | Morning in America

A Canadian farmer just had to shell out $82,000 for sending a thumbs-up emoji in response to a text message containing a contract from a man who wanted to buy grain. The buyer sued when he didn't get the grain and the judge ruled in his favor, saying the emoji was a form of agreeing to the terms of that contract. NewsNation legal contributor Jesse Weber explained that this is not new and that people have to be very careful with what they send and how. #Emoji #Lawsuit #Communication Start your day with "Morning in America," NewsNation's live three-hour national morning newscast hosted by Adrienne Bankert.
