UPDATE:

The faked video that purports to show Nancy Pelosi "drunk" has now received 3.9 MILLION VIEWS on Facebook (and growing)

Facebook says it won't remove fake videos because it's not in the news business

Facebook is abetting a Trump smear campaign. (Again.)
These statistics come from Crowdtangle, which is an analytics service owned by Facebook.

Facebook also drove millions of views to the fake Youtube videos of Pelosi (which Google now took offline)

More details in my next newsletter. Sign up at popular.info
About 3.3 million of the views of the fake Pelosi videos come from two versions of the video that were originally posted by two pages: "Politics WatchDog" and "Trump Republicans"
"Facebook acknowledged the video is 'false' but said the videos would remain on the platform"

Facebook VP Monika Bickert: "We think it’s important for people to make their own informed choice for what to believe. Our job is to make sure we are getting them accurate information"
