People are sharing dodgy and harmful legal advice in Facebook groups aimed at men going through separations, including encouraging users to illegally surveil their partners.

There are several active Facebook groups filled with hundreds of men who are aggrieved at Australia’s Family Court system, and who regularly ask for advice on navigating legal proceedings.

In posts found by BuzzFeed News, men are given amateur advice by other members to make video or audio recordings of their partners without their knowledge, to illegally record court proceedings, and to refuse to acknowledge the sovereignty of Australian law.
