Research done in 2012 by Hany SalahEldeen and Michael Nelson at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia showed that one year after the Egyptian Revolution, 11% of the social media content documenting this momentous event had disappeared.

Your response to this may be that throughout time, we have always lost parts of our history so is this really a big deal?
