If Facebook tracks me outside of Facebook's website because that other website has tracking code or a like button (which I didn't click) and I don't have an account on Facebook, I'm not ok with that.

Then your beef is not with FB but the website which _chose_ to embed FB like button. You should stop using that website if you are not ok.

Yeah, that's like 40% of the internet, including almost all news.

The argument "just don't participate in society if you don't want people tracking every news report you read" doesn't really sit well with me.

Well these are the terms of using the site. You are not entitled to anything.

Can you practically view those terms without loading one of these buttons beforehand?

That's an issue, I agree.

I think you can already block thoses connections, so yes

What if blocking is against the terms of service?

You were not aware before reading thoses terms
