Do people who allow circumstances to decide who they are, and act on impulses and emotions, who never decide to make things be different in spite of what would feel good to do, do those people have free will, or would you just say they havent learned to excersize it yet?

In the same way, do people who's worldview has been algorithmically shaped by a megacorperation, who trust and never verify, who don't even know how to verify, do those people have free will, or is it just that they haven't learned to use it yet?

I say this, and yet I was like this. Even now I can see ways to improve my ability to exercise free will.
