It basically says they are going to do the minimal effort required to protect privacy while avoiding regulation.
As I posted elsewhere already. GDRP is more then just some rules around what you need to ask users for permission for. It's much bigger and very specific to the EU legal apparatus.
It hence makes no sense to ship globally. What you want is for the underlying privacy controls to be available for everyone...which according to Reuters is what FB is doing!
