Bit of a non-article here. There's no actual proposal on how this could be done without introducing a delay (though it could be less than radio/TV's 7 seconds) in speech messages. But delaying messages would be pretty annoying for gamers actually trying to have a conversation or coordinate actions in fast-paced games. You can't even really use prediction very effectively:

"You're a ni-" could end with "-ce person", "-fty caster", or something much worse and there's no way to tell until the person says it.

There already is a delay, it's just imperceptible in most cases because it's so short.
