Technically there isn't any difference. It's a request to a server. You send over your IP (defined as personal data) to a third party server. But for data collection there is a big difference given that FB knows who you are, you are probably already logged in, and log/use that data. Do CDNs such as Cloudflare, Google Fonts etc log and analyse usage behaviour? Regardless, I agree, it will be very interesting to see what will happen when all these external services are dragged into GDPR cases. Lots of sites includes fonts, chat widgets, buttons and other stuff that track behaviour without being consented by the user and left out of their privacy policies.
