I think you're probably right, though again I'm not going to claim I really understand GDPR. For example, it seems to say that you have to explain things in plain language, which would mitigate somewhat against bulk obscure clickwrap licensing. That's good, but having looked at FB's current privacy settings they appear to me already to be written in pretty plain and clear English. They're just many, and complex, and the ways they interact are not at all clear. Adding one more in there (or multiple?) won't make the situation better for the average FB user.
I found a couple clips from a FB investor call where they (Facebook Chief Financial Officer David Wehner) seem to be thinking that GDPR requires (possibly pop-up?) permission screens for users when new features are rolled out. So people would get to opt out of every feature and every feature would get another checkbox in the privacy screens... oy.
