The central premise of this article is unsupported by the research provided. Since the foundational claim of the article is fabricated or unverified, and virtually every paragraph is built upon that false premise, no paragraphs can be retained without perpetuating misinformation.\n\nThe only factual element confirmed by the research is that the DOJ settled with Apple in November 2023 for $25 million regarding citizenship-status discrimination allegations under the Immigration and Nationality Act’s anti-discrimination provision.\n\nNo pruned version of this article can be responsibly returned, as doing so would preserve a fabricated news story about OpenAI. The article should not be published.\n\n**Disclosure:** This article was edited by Editorial Team.
