MODERATORS
They added face recognition to the SIM registration process, in an attempt to reduce fraud. (Maybe by limiting or not allowing duplicate faces.) But a monkey face works too, and they are plentiful on the islands, supplying many unique faces.
I hope we get to see two people use the same monkey
Thank you! Finally makes sense.
