> These changes to our Terms and privacy policy don’t affect your privacy settings or the way that we treat your information.

This is such a blatant lie what the hell. The only reason for this move is specifically to treat your information in ways that are not legal now.

Not necessarily. They might treat information the same way but generate different paperwork or have different levels of risk from frivolous lawsuits.
This is not a lie if these changes do not do anything but later ones will.
Alternate interpretation: it doesn't affect the way they treat your information because they weren't going to follow GDPR anyway.
