Emoticon like signing a contract. Canada

He gave “the stick” and heard the sentence. Switzerland
The 2017 Swiss court ruling was commented worldwide. And it's not surprising, given the different nature of the case. A man (fine suspended) who participated in the Facebook discussion a fewer years before the trial was convicted. An online conversation featured the character of Erwin Kessler, an animal rights defender who was accused of racism and anti-Semitism. Convicted was not the author of these comments, but liked them.
The Court of First Instance considered that the layman in this context meant agreeing to comment. A individual who likes the post is incapable to prove that Kessler is an anti-Semitic and at the same time spreads slander about it by pressing the “Lajk” button.
Interestingly, Erwin Kessler himself initiated legal action against a larger group of people, including commentaries.
