Mark Hamill Deletes Fb Account over Refusal to Censor Political Advertisements

Celebrity Wars actor Mark Hamill has deleted his Fb account over the social media website online's refusal to reality test political classified ads on its platform. Consistent with Hamill, Mark Zuckerberg "values profit more than truthfulness" as demonstrated via his determination to not censor political classified ads. Fb says its coverage is in response to the "principle that people should be able to hear from those who wish to lead them, warts and all, and that what they say should be scrutinized and debated in public.”
