Not really sure what the article is even referring to, but that sounds like quite a "popular science" take on the phenomenon. It is well established that quantum entanglement doesn't allow for actually transmitting information faster than light. In fact, since the mathematical descriptions of quantum physics are built on top of special relativity, there cannot be such a thing as faster-than-light communication (under that description). If anything, under such assumptions, you could choose a reference frame under which the receipt of said information would have occurred prior to the transmission, which as you can see would be quite paradoxical.
