The US court doesn't really examine the complaint prior to issuing a subpoena, the plantiff has a dispute with you and wants to contact you but can't. So they've gone to court to ask how to contact you.

Cloudflare could move to quash the subpoena, but unless your contract says they must, that's at their discression, and unless your contract says you'll pay for it, something they would have to pay for.

If you had representation, you could move to quash the subpoena, too. And then it would be challenged.

Free speech doesn't necessarily imply anonymous speech either.

I understand about the contact thing. They have had contact with me directly and via my host and Cloudflare. They have asked for information about the account from the time their story was published up until now. So it's not just about that. They can contact me, they just aren't getting the response they want.
