The GDPR doesn't specify anything precisely. Facebook made changes, they clearly do comply with the GDPR because the GDPR gives much leeway in how it's interpreted.
But there's a deeper reason why the EU fining Facebook would be a deep demonstration of malaise, incompetence and greed. From the report:
Research has shown that most users will never look at, let alone change, the
default settings.
That's right, and you know why? Because users don't care and never did. This entire privacy crusade is made up out of whole cloth, by the EU, to obtain power and money. These foolish governments constantly demand more and more controls, consent agreements and so on and the users constantly don't use those new controls and always consent because they were perfectly fine to begin with.
There are no dark patterns. There are no evil conspiracies. There are only users, who enjoy broadcasting every detail of their lives to their friends and sometimes the world.
