Mark Hamill is done with Facebook .

The Star Wars actor deleted his account on the social media platform to protest its decision to continue allowing political ads containing lies. He also took a swipe at the companys billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the process.

Hamill tweeted Sunday he was so disappointed Zuckerberg values profit more than truthfulness. I know this is a big Who Cares? for the world at large, but Ill sleep better at night.

Hamill also used the hashtag #PatriotismOverProfits and two emoji that appeared to indicate loyalty to the U.S. flag is greater than money. But he used an emoji of the Malaysian flag. Hamill corrected himself in a second post:

Hamills tweet was well received among many of his fans, including bestselling The Cartel author Don Winslow:

Hamills public stance against Facebook follows British actor and comedian Sacha Baron Cohens scorching speech against the platform at an Anti-Defamation League summit on anti-Semitism and hate in November. Cohen called for a fundamental rethink of social media and how it spreads hate, conspiracies and lies.
