Look at what this case is about, Facebook and Google are saying if you want to use our service you need to enable tracking otherwise don't use our service.

This lawsuit states that Facebook and Google are not legally allowed to deny service.

I am not a lawyer, but it seems that the plaintiff is basically arguing that, according to GDPR, if you want to offer a service in the EU then you can’t just have users waive their rights under the GDPR. You could not offer a service in the EU, but if you do then you can’t just tell your users “if you want to use our service, then you agree that GDPR does not apply to us.”

Which is ridiculous. Ultimately they will have to just not offer products and services in the EU. The EU as others indicated will become a digital waste land.
