As I understand it, GPL v3 doesn't say anything like this. You *can* use GPL v3 code to run DRM software . You can run any kind of non-free software on/alongside GPL software.
What you can't do is use the GPL v3 for code that requires a secret key that isn't provided. You can't *distribute* a program that's locked up by DRM and doesn't provide users the key.
