The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Nevertheless, Swiftkey is not the first UK company to be successful; Amazon was the first one. The reason why Britain is so strong in this competitive area might be because of the locations of the startups (e.g. Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College and University College London)
