If we’re to rely on facts and facts only, I’ll argue its internal decision making is itself clearly determined by several factors, most if not all of them being determined causally.
I’m quite sure this addition erases the mere idea “free(dom)” and “free will”, which would somehow escape universal determinism, hence creating a special case in the laws of causality for humanity only.
Edit : changed phrasing because I answered after reading your first paragraph. Then I read the second one.
