  The information loss paradox is often presented as an unavoidable consequence
of well-established physics. However, in order for a genuine paradox to ensue,
not-trivial assumptions about, e.g., quantum effects on spacetime, are
necessary. In this work we will be explicit about these additional, speculative
assumptions required. We will also sketch a map of the available routes to
tackle the issue, highlighting the, often overlooked, commitments demanded of
each alternative. In particular, we will display the strong link between black
holes, the issue of information loss and the measurement problem.
