Not quite true. If facebook were to remain usable by EU citizens, it falls under EI jurisdiction. This, too, is part of GDPR and the reason why some US websites simply block EU IP addresses.
Of course, they could defy that order as well and hope that their assets are safe elsewhere in the world. Or, you know. their executives have seen enough of Rome and Paris.
