An absence of something can only be defined relative to that something and never taken just by itself. So a shadow only exists as a function of light (no light) or a consequence of the absence of light. So it would not travel faster than light in a way that can carry additional information.

Quantum entanglement works faster than light but cannot carry any information. As such the speed of causality (and implicitly of light) is still the real limit.

Thanks for this clarification. I have been wondering about this for awhile and your explanation helped a lot.
