By accepting them, you authorize Meta (and therefore Facebook) to retrieve the content you publish, namely your publications, photos, videos, and more broadly the number of reactions such as likes and comments. The objective is largely commercial. With this data, Facebook can more easily target the type of user you are and offer commercial relevant to your needs.
