Particles found to break speed of light

I read an article a day or two ago (for the life of me I can’t find it) that was explaining that eventually the universe, because it’s rate of expansion is increasing, will eventually surpass the speed of light.

The article concluded that because it was the expansion of the universe, and not objects in the universe that passed the speed of light that Einsteins law would still hold true. Still, that shows that moving faster than the speed of light is possible.

But I’ve always wondered……if light can’t escape the gravity of a black hole, wouldn’t that mean the force of gravity is more powerful than the speed of light? I mean I know next to nothing about astro-physics, but I wouldn’t be all that surprised if we find out there are exceptions to the rules
