Lovely that their blog with privacy propaganda has a cookie banner that is not compliant with any privacy law in any way. Says everything about their efforts, I guess.
It was a trap. Clickbait to get every privacy-minded tech enthusiast on their site. Now, simply because they interacted with the page, facebook, in their opinion, gets a blank cheque to track you wherever they wish, on and off-site.
Having actually worked for Meta in both security and privacy capacities, I guarantee you that it's really not that conspiratorial.
No one wrote this article with the intention of "trapping privacy-minded tech enthusiasts."
I mean no offense, but this sort of thinking (that an engineering blog is attempting to attack you) is unhinged. There is not some grand conspiracy. Companies like this are not the shadowy, highly-competent and absolutely evil entities you think they are. They are barely functional to begin with.
An “accept” only cookie notice isn’t generally permissible in the EU.
They may be serving more compliant versions based on geolocation, though.

- They are not asking for consent, there is just an ok button.
- They assume consent when you navigate further on the site, this is not valid consent.
- Consent needs to be for specific, well defined purposes. “help personalize content, tailor and measure ads and provide a safer experience” are three purposes in one and none of them are well defined.
- They are probably already setting the cookies in your first request, when you have not seen any information yet (did not check)
