I doubt they released this without consulting the relevant data agencies in the EU. And TBH there is nothing shocking here, just a confirmation of what everybody knows is already happening. I 'm also in the EU and this makes perfect sense to me: if you can't accept seeing some ads then you can't use the free service. I highly doubt people are willing to pay $5 cash / quarter to use it, but i would like to see FB giving that option, just to see how miserably it fails.

According to GDPR, you cannot make access to your service require opt-in to tracking, unless your service very specifically cannot work in any way without tracking. And no, your business model not working because you cannot track users anymore is not the same as your service not working. Find a better business model. Facebook would still work just fine without the tracking, as proven by the fact that you can switch off targeted ads and everything still works fine.
