Censoring the Internet leads to The Great Internet Blackout

As a company, Sapphire Solutions, Ltd. does it’s best, to keep silent about political issues. However, we will not sit idly by, while the U.S. Government tries to slide one by the American people and how they use the Sapphire Solutions playground – the interent.

While I will not go into much detail with this post, I will say, the way all Americans use the internet, will change drastically if SOPA/PIPA legislation is passed.
