New York Has a Paid-Information Problem — And We’re Finally Addressing It Right now, a massive amount of what New Yorkers see, hear, and believe is being shaped by paid influence masquerading as organic content. Not journalism. Not opinion. Paid persuasion without disclosure. Social media has become a marketplace where outrage, misinformation, and sexualized content are rewarded by algorithms and cash—while parents, kids, and working people are left to sort out what’s real on their own. That’s not free speech. That’s undisclosed commercial influence. And New York has every right—and responsibility—to deal with it. The Problem • Over one-third of Americans now get news directly from social media platforms. • A majority of younger users say they receive “news” from influencers, not reporters. • Paid content is routinely not disclosed, even when money or incentives are clearly involved. • Children are being exposed to algorithm-driven content that rewards dysfunction, not discipline. • Fake outrage, rage-bait, manipulated clips, and click-farm content are financially incentivized. We already regulate: • Advertising • Campaign finance • Consumer fraud • Gambling, alcohol, and tobacco marketing But somehow, paid digital influence gets a free pass. That ends now. The Policy: NYS Digital Transparency & Youth Protection Act This policy does not censor speech. It does not ban opinions. It does not target ideology. It does one simple thing: If you are paid to influence New Yorkers, the public has a right to know. Key components include: • Mandatory Paid-Influence Disclosure Clear, unavoidable labels when money, compensation, or incentives are involved. • Ban on “Stealth Sponsored News” If content is paid for, it cannot be presented as independent reporting. • Public Transparency Portal A searchable archive of major paid influence campaigns targeting NY residents. • Enforcement Against Deceptive Engagement Fake reviews, bot amplification, hidden sponsorships, and fraudulent marketing treated as consumer deception. • Youth Protections Limits on algorithmic amplification and targeted advertising on state-managed school networks and devices. • Deepfake & Synthetic Media Safeguards Penalties for materially deceptive synthetic content used to mislead or manipulate. • Digital Literacy Tools Teach people—especially kids—how to spot manipulation, rage-bait, and paid deception. Why This Matters You can say whatever you want in New York. You can criticize me, support me, hate me, or ignore me. But if you’re being paid to push something, that’s no longer just speech—it’s commerce. And commerce has rules. This policy restores trust, transparency, and personal responsibility to the digital public square—without turning the government into a speech referee. This Is About the Future A society where: • Kids think work is optional • Truth is secondary to clicks • Outrage is profitable • Deception is rewarded …is not sustainable. New York can lead the country by proving you don’t need censorship to restore order—just honesty, disclosure, and enforcement of existing principles in a modern world.

Ending Sanctuary Chaos in New York — The Right Way New York needs to calm this down and get back to law, order, and humanity — not chaos from either side. I just released my full policy on Ending Sanctuary Cities in New York, and I want to be crystal clear about what this is and what it is not. 🔗 Read the full policy here: https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-ending-sanctuary-cities-in-new-york-upholding-the-rule-of-law-and-protecting-our-communities/ This plan does three things at once, which most politicians refuse to even try: 1️⃣ Protects New Yorkers from Lawless Enforcement No masked agents. No unmarked vans. No people being snatched off the street without warrants. If ICE wants to act in New York, they will do it through courts, with warrants, and with transparency. Period. 2️⃣ Ends Criminal Sanctuary Policies If you are in New York illegally and you commit a crime, you will not be protected by politics. Criminal offenders will be turned over to ICE from jail, not released back into our communities. That’s not cruelty — that’s accountability. 3️⃣ Restores Order Without Fear Enforcement belongs in the system: • Courts • Warrants • Precincts • Jails Not in neighborhoods. Not in schools. Not in front of children. This approach reduces violence, protects officers, and keeps families from living in constant fear. ⸻ This is not a far-right plan. This is not a far-left plan. This is a New York plan. You can protect civil liberties and enforce the law. You can reject chaos and reject lawlessness. You can be humane and serious. Albany refuses to do this because chaos is good politics for them. I’m running to end it. 🗽 Order. Safety. Dignity. New York First. “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.

🦃 A Thanksgiving Message to New York From Jason S. Arnold — Candidate for Governor of New York State “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” Today isn’t just about a meal — it’s about remembrance. Remembrance of how far we’ve come, what we’ve survived, and who we still carry with us in spirit. Thanksgiving is a moment where families gather, communities pause, and we recognize the quiet truth that gets drowned out the rest of the year: We are stronger when we stand together, and weaker when politics divides us. This year, let us give thanks for: • The families who hold each other up during hard times • The workers who keep New York moving while others rest • The service members and first responders who never get holidays off • The neighbors who give more than they take • And every New Yorker who still believes we can build something better than what the establishment has given us We lift up those we’ve lost, honor those still fighting their battles, and extend a hand to anyone spending today alone. Nobody should be forgotten in a state as rich as ours. New York deserves leadership that remembers the people — not the donors. The 99 — not the one. Today, let your home be filled with peace, gratitude, and the hope that tomorrow can be different. From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving, New York. Stay safe, stay grateful, and stay united. — Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor, New York State 🌐 https://JSA2026.com #Thanksgiving2025 #NYStrong #BETTR #NewYorkTogether #JSA2026 #TheRightOne

📊 New Mock Poll: Why Jason S. Arnold is the Only Candidate Who Can Actually Compete Statewide A mock NYS poll using real turnout patterns and past Siena/Marist data shows: • Hochul vs. Stefanik: Hochul +13 (48–35) — Stefanik can’t close the gap. • Hochul vs. Jason S. Arnold: Hochul +6 (44–38) — within striking distance. • Independents: Arnold leads at 28% vs Hochul 34% & Stefanik 24%. • Favorables: Arnold 24% favorable / 16% unfavorable / 60% unfamiliar — lowest negatives, biggest upside. • Top Issue Ownership: Arnold edges both on cost of living, housing, and public safety. Regional Strengths: • Suburbs: Competitive with Hochul & Stefanik, strong growth lane. • Upstate: 11% as “other” — enough to swing tight races. • NYC outer boroughs: Safety & cost-of-living pitch beats party labels. What It Means: Voters want real plans, not slogans. Transparency wins. And the data shows Jason S. Arnold is the only one who can take Hochul down to single digits and still grow. 🔗 Full vision here: https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-full-vision-post-what-well-do-for-life-in-new-york/ #JSA2026 #NYGovernor #TurnNYRed #Poll #NYS

New York’s Daycare Crisis: Why Parents Can’t Afford to Work — And How We’ll Fix It Daycare costs in New York are out of control — averaging over $2,000 a month in NYC and more than $1,200 upstate. Parents are forced out of the workforce, waitlists stretch for months, and entire counties are childcare deserts. This isn’t just a family issue — it’s an economic one. Our plan — the New York Childcare Freedom Act — cuts costs, expands vouchers, boosts daycare worker pay, and opens more spots fast. We’ll model proven solutions from states like Vermont, New Mexico, and Washington, adapting them to work here in New York.

Fair Maps for All New Yorkers: Ending the Urban-Rural Imbalance New York’s congressional maps don’t reflect real communities — they silence rural voices and over-pack urban ones. The result? Policies written for party insiders, not the people. My plan delivers neutral, community-based maps that: • Keep rural counties intact and give them equal footing. • Respect urban and suburban communities without over-packing. • End partisan gerrymanders and restore voter trust. • Ensure every New Yorker — from Buffalo to Montauk — has a fair voice in Washington. This isn’t about red or blue. It’s about fairness, balance, and finally putting voters first.

New York Doesn’t Need More Flood Warnings — It Needs Flood Fixes Every storm, the same message: Stay home. Be careful. Expect flooding. But warnings don’t stop the water. Subways fill. Streets turn into rivers. Basements collapse. Lives are lost. The truth? New York’s flood infrastructure is decades behind, and politicians keep kicking the can down the road with press conferences instead of prevention. ⸻ Our Plan: Fix It Before It Fails • Modern drainage systems: Upgrade 19th-century sewers, add underground retention tanks, and deploy pumping stations in low-lying neighborhoods. • Green flood barriers: Permeable pavement, rain gardens, and bioswales to absorb stormwater where it falls. • Smart tech monitoring: Real-time flood sensors and AI-driven modeling to predict and prevent disaster. • Unified response: City and state agencies working together — not in silos — with full public transparency. ⸻ Read the Full Flood Prevention Plan Ending Flood Mismanagement – Proactive Solutions for a Safer New York https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-ending-flood-mismanagement-proactive-solutions-for-a-safer-new-york/ ⸻ Join the Movement No more excuses.

Tired of Fare Hikes and Government Waste? New York Deserves Better. Every year, New Yorkers pay more for transit while getting less in return. Another MTA fare hike is coming — and still, we see crews standing around, projects years behind schedule, and billions lost to mismanagement. It’s not just the MTA — it’s government at every level. From entry‑level workers to the Governor’s office, no one should be above accountability — including me. That’s why we’re launching the Watchdog New York Whistleblower Program: • See waste or abuse? Document it. • Photos, videos, location, and time — the more detail, the better. • Help us build an evidence-backed case for reform that ends corruption and restores trust. Our plan to fix the MTA goes further — distance-based fares, full audits, and real rider representation so short trips cost less, waste is eliminated, and the system finally works for New Yorkers, not insiders. Read the full plan here: Fixing New York’s MTA – Fair Fares, Honest Management, and Better Transit for All https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-fixing-new-yorks-mta-fair-fares-honest-management-and-better-transit-for-all/ ⸻ Join the Movement If you’re tired of paying more for broken systems, stand with us. Together, we’ll hold everyone — even the Governor — accountable. #JSA2026 #NYGovernor #MTA #Whistleblower #Accountability #FairFares #TransitReform
