What you describe is mostly a side effect of what people want to do on social media: freely exchange information. Facebook does take steps to curb the side effects, it has no interest in increasing them.

FB has 100% interest (and highly automated interest!) in increasing all side-effects that increase engagement and ad views. Lesseee, "Elvis found alive in White House basement", or "Warren issues new budget plan" -- FB agnostically goes with the clicks.
