I don't think its fair. I use thumbs up emoji to indicate have received something. Does not mean I am accepting it.
Usually for that, I use the actual word: "Agreed" or "Accepted".

Example::
1st instance:
- msg: contract sent
- reply: “Yes”
2nd instance:
- msg: contract sent
- reply: “I agree”
3rd instance:
- msg: contract sent
- reply: Thumbs up emoji
How conceptually emoji is different from your "agreed"?
Thumbs up is widely used to acknowledge receipt of a message without agreeing to anything contractually. It also has other meanings, such as ‘I like what you said’, and ‘that’s a good idea’. The ruling here does not represent a precedent over the meaning of the thumbs up emoji, nor does it confirm or deny any of the multiple common definitions for the thumb up emoji.
