I did not consent to being tracked by facebook.

Yet websites try again and again to load the facebook like button.

As per GDPR, which is in effect but not enforced until May, tracking me without explicitly and clearly asking me if that is okay is not allowed and anything else, like withdrawing service until I agree to be tracked, does not construct consent.

When I visit a new website I do not know if they have facebook like buttons. I have to load the page to check that and without a script or ad blocker I will also load the like button and facebook will track that.

At which point in that process did I consent to any and all scripts on that webpage leeching of my personal data?

Take that up with the websites, not Facebook.

Vast numbers of websites use Google Web Fonts which enables Google to track users. I didn't opt in to that so I just block it.

Yes but technically less inclined users won't block and don't consent to it either.

Visiting a website is not consent for tracking.
