Information, However, Can Become Irretrievable

So in this sense, information cannot get destroyed. It can, however, become for practical purposes, impossible to retrieve.

We don't actually know what happens with it. And the other one is the mysterious measurement process in quantum mechanics, which is also an unresolved problem.
