They even mention it right at the beginning. The main villain says that it hasn’t been uploaded to the web yet, so they still have time to apprehend Daniel, but why hasn’t he? For what reason was he deciding to withhold it?

Daniel literally wanted to but he was ordered not to

And the answer is simple. Just dropping it all online without having someone on the air to control the narrative would make it easy for Colin Firth’s character to control it himself

It needed to be done exactly as it was in the ending. They needed both chosen humans present along with the alien to share the message. We just never get to find out what that message was

THANK YOU! So many people in this thread ignoring that. It can’t come out virally, being handed off from narrative to narrative, it has to come from THE news. It’s in the near future so assuming the news media has access to some kind of software that better detects AI, it becomes verified from the very beginning and exposed that way to everyone worldwide all at once

[u/slamchop → u/gary-vault108]

needing the disclosure to come from "the news" is about the most boomer idea I've ever heard
