In civil proceedings, there is the discovery phase where pretty much anything is theoretically up for grabs.


AFAIK there's no right to confrontation in civil cases.


You get to know who's suing you and subpoena all sorts of information from them. Which is effectively the same result.

For example, if someone sues you for spamming (under some theoretical law which would allow that), you'd be able to know who they were and get information from/about them during discovery.
