今天的句子：

Whenever the nefarious consequences of their profit models are exposed, tech companies essentially reply, “don’t regulate us, we’ll improve our behaviour”. But self-regulation is simply not working well enough, especially when we have no way of knowing whether tweaking algorithms makes matters better or worse.

思考题：

why self-regulation is not working  well enough？

词汇突破：

超纲词两个（可以不记，可以了解）：

1.nefarious =（ immoral= unethical=evil 但这三个词需要认识）

2. tweak 调整 =adjust 

其他词汇：

1. profit models 盈利模式

2. essentially 基本上，根本上，主要；

  This article is essentially concerned with the theory of Chicago school.

  （这篇文章主要是关于芝加哥学派的理论。） 

3. algorithm 算法

状语

明天的句子：

There are numerous possible reasons for Johnson’s Teflon-like qualities. Perhaps the privilege of rich white men really is so pervasive that they can literally do whatever they feel like and not suffer any consequences. Perhaps the reason it’s so hard to shame Johnson is that he appears to lack the capacity to feel shame. In any case, a straw must surely break the camel’s back – and it may as well be this. If lying to the country about something so serious doesn’t return Johnson to the back benches, what will it take?

思考题：

What is author’s attitude towards Johnson?

Positive or negative
