Many-worlds doesn't change anything about free will, but it does (under some interpretations) change the answer to the question "could you have said anything else than what you did say in the next moment?"

This sense of "could" seems mostly unrelated to the decision-theoretic "could", so the answer to the question changes only to the extent there's equivocation for the word.
