News Corp publications and networks traditionally rail against government intervention, but the media giant's boss Robert Thomson has urged governments to establish "algorithm review boards" to help police Google and Facebook.

"If properly conceived," said Thomson on Friday's quarterly investor relations call, such boards "would provide the necessary transparency for individuals, clients and competitors concerned about algorithmic abuse."
