L'kovod Rabbi Yakov Shapiro shlita,
Am I allowed to download any picture that is posted publicly online, then upload on to a social media site like facebook (G-d forbid anyone use facebook) to share with people for free? Is there any copyright laws to be aware of?

Thank you

You'll have to ask a copyright lawyer. I am just a rabbi.
