My host has been amazing. They're based in Europe and have told the person they have no right to ask for information and they will not give it. The individual has got nowhere in that European country, but the USA where free speech is guaranteed has just let him get his way.
I realise opsec was lax on the Cloudflare side but I never imagined they would do this with no questions asked.

The US Constitution doesn’t really apply to foreign nationals in their native country.

I'd tell you on here but it might make my post here a bit too obvious as the person knows who they are.

Ah, yeah. Well free speech is guaranteed over here in the states, but so are corporate entities that kowtow to fascist policies.
Cloudflare (or any other company) does not have your best interest in mind, just their bottom line. They will fold to any legal system if there are no regulations against them folding.
I'm not saying this is right, it's just the reality of the situation: your opsec precluded anonymity in the face of the legal system when you tied your personal information to the blog you were publishing.
Like others have said, its time to get legal representation. The first thing they're going to tell you is to under no circumstances post things about your case in social media outlets. Good luck.
