It is possible, but it is not straight forward. You need to:

save your screen in an FBO and then into an image
once you have the image, upload it to, let’s say, instagram. To do this, there is no addon ready to be used. Instagram uses OAuth2 as authentication, you will need to read the doc of their API, and implement a wrapper for openFrameworks. There is an addon where it is possible to read from Instagram. I guess you can use it as a base https://github.com/DHaylock/ofxInstagram, and then try to implement the upload part.
Regarding Facebook, i know that @hamoid faces the same topic recently, maybe he has some advice

https://github.com/bakercp/ofxHTTP/ offers support for OAuth2 and has been used to upload to Instagram. I’d start w/ the OAuth2 client here:
