IANAL, but it's not GDPR-conformant consent in any way. Consent needs to be informed, unambiguous, and freely given to be valid and should be easy to reject. The only way for this to be valid would be a consent form with something like:
Allow Meta tracking to connect the Facebook or Instagram app on your device to associate visits to this website with your Meta account. Yes/No (With No selected as a default.)
I am pretty sure that this is a grave violation of the GDPR.
That's probably already part of the consent form websites pop up listing 200 different trackers. If you permit data sharing with Facebook/IG/Meta in the consent form, you're consenting to tracking in general, not just cookie-based tracking.
"No" doesn't even need to be selected as a default, as long as you don't use dark patterns. Making the user manually click yes or no is perfectly valid (as long as you don't make "yes" easier than "no", so if you add an "allow all" button there should be an equally prominent "deny all" button).
