At the beginning of the year, Netflix announced an extra charge for ‘passing the password’ and implemented it in several nations, including Mexico. Now, It seems that Disney+ will follow in the footsteps of the ‘Giant’ of streaming by prohibiting these types of practices.
The streaming service led by ‘Mickey Mouse’ has already begun sending emails to users in Canada to alert them about changes to its terms and conditions, which include stopping password sharing.
Disney+ applies that of Netflix
In this sense, as of November 1, 2023, Canadians will be prohibited from passing their service account and password to someone who resides outside the contracting home.
This change comes after in August, Bob Iger, CEO of Disney+, announced the implementation of new tactics to stop allowing password sharing in 2024, so it is expected that after Canada, more countries will suffer from the new policies.
According to the Canadian media Mobile Syrup, restrictions will be determined through the IP addresses and location of Disney+ users. So let your partner know, they may soon have to stop sharing the account.
Disney+ is a video streaming service owned by The Walt Disney Company, which launched on November 12, 2019 in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. This streaming platform was created as part of Disney’s strategy to compete in the rapidly growing video-on-demand (SVOD) streaming market, which was being dominated by companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu.
High level Alto Nivel is the Mexican media with more than 30 years of stories, content and news on economics, finance, business and leaders.
