This button doesn't often work as you'd expect. Websites/Apps can (and do) still approve so called "legitimate interest" option. The only way to be sure is to click "manage preferences" and dig in to check if legitimate interest is enabled. Sometimes you'll see "object all" in there, but some websites require to manually disable legitimate interest for each of the hundreds of partners manually.
Recently a pirate website for music, free-mp3-download.net got updated with this crap included. You have to toggle it off every time. All vendors separately. I took a stopwatch, it takes me around 2 minutes and 50 seconds. https://i.imgur.com/0nd48mw.jpeg

I don't think facebook shares much data to other companies, they have more to gain by keeping it to themselves and having all the data to serve their billions of users personnalized ads.

For these companies I never really liked the phrase that says you are the product, youre not really the product, you are what makes their product. If a company sold your data plainly, then yes in thsi case you are the product
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can't get an "informed consent" from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.

Imagine applying to private university and reading their privacy policy, where they clearly say, how they get your private information from third parties and share all info with third parties.
