Axiomatic to projects such as Freedombox is that users should control
their own data, and that corporations and governments may not be
faithful custodians or fiduciaries of that data. A recent study claims
to conclude "Almost 30 per cent of recorded history, shared over
social media such as Twitter, has disappeared, according to a new
study of the Egyptian uprising and other significant events"
