Confusing in this case, is that Hoder gained worldwide notoriety as a leading Iranian blogger and free speech activist (even blogging for Global Voices in 2004 and 2005). 
Jambo linalochanganya zaidi ni kwamba Hoder alipata umaarufu duniani kote kama mwanablogu anayeongoza huko Irani na mwanaharakati wa uhuru wa kujieleza (aliwahi hata kublogu kwa ajili ya Global Voices kati ya mwaka 2004 na 2005).
