Not according to dictionary.com which the judge referred to for the thumbs up.
They should update the meaning, I also know it as a "read receipt".
If I was going to read a text and respond to it later, I would just... respond to it later.
Am I out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong.
A lot of people hate being "left on read" where they see a programmed read receipt but aren't actually acknowledged. Or for messages without programmed read receipts it does that as well. The thumbs up is also supposed to end conversations quickly.
