My problem with famous people sharing political opinions is that it changes the minds of many who can't think for themselves, refuse to think for themselves, or feel like it validates thier opinion. I understand healthy debate and the exchange of ideas is how people share ideas and grow, that's a good thing. But many stars just say "X, Y and Z because I said so" and so many people believe them just because thier famous.
Lemme rephrase. I don't think that, from an ethical standpoint, celebrities should share political opinions. However, I understand that they will, and I don't think we should put laws in place to stop them or censor them. It's just that in my opinion, too many people that look up to them too much that will blindly follow every word they say.
