Several months ago, allowing filibustering while your Political Freedoms were 'Widely Abused' raised them to 'Corrupted'. Now, doing the same thing lowered them to 'Excessive'.

Has the stats for that option changed? Is it a bug? Or is my memory failing me?

No, no, and (probably) no.
Frequently Asked Questions About Issues
Secret? I don't think so! I'm sure there's several of us who could create a spoiler thread for what each issue does do for those who are interested.

Not accurately, you couldn't. 99% of theories I've read about issues are either wrong or misleading. Anyway, such data will not be released, and I would argue against attempting to classify everything, as I can guarantee you'd get it wrong for reasons I'm not going to disclose. That's my final word on this matter.
Yes.

Has the stats for that option changed? Is it a bug? Or is my memory failing me?No, nothing's changed. I just got that issue and it raised my political freedoms from 'Widely Abused' to 'Corrupted', a week or so ago. It must be that in combination with another issue.

I still say we could figure out what issues do if we tried hard enough. Any code can be broken.

It's not a cryptographic code that can be "broken" with sufficient resources. It's computer coding. And since you can't even gather enough information to begin to figure out how issues work, it really is impossible to "break".
