Clickbaity title. As the article outlines inside 63% of currently produced blocks are OFAC compliant. With an ETH block time of ~12 seconds. There is a 1-(.63^n) chance that an OFAC non-compliant block will be included in n blocks. Once you hit 90 seconds, there's a >99% chance that an OFAC non-compliant transaction will be written to the chain.

If censorship ever came to the blockchain itself i.e. Coinbase (who holds a large stake and needs to comply with OFAC) not attesting non-compliant blocks, there are censorship resistant ways the chain can employ to prevent this - like social slashing, this is a great read on it:
