- Legal advice guide for Muslims going overseas urges them to clear their phones
- The guide also suggests adding disclaimers to online posts discussing terrorism

The updated guide’s travel advice has sparked fears it could fall into the wrong hands and be used by ‘people with terrorist connections’, The Australian reported.
