Blatantly false. Completely unrealistic. Additional regulation towards privacy perhaps - affecting all similar (American, Chinese, European etc.) platforms. But not an outright ban.

Facebook threatening to close their site in Europe because of regulations is not the same as EU banning them.

I dunno, "stopping data transfer" sounds like a ban by another name to me.

EU countries are banning Google already. Never say never

No, that's not the case.

Judiciaries in multiple EU member states have judged Google to be breaching EU regulations (in regards to Google Analytics). That is not a ban; Google is welcome to do business in the EU if they observe EU laws and regulations.
