The Walt Disney Company’s streaming service is set to begin a crackdown on password-sharing in Canada beginning in weeks, according to a new report.
Canadian outlet Mobile Syrup reported this week Disney+ emailed customers in the country on Tuesday evening with updates to their subscriber agreement, saying that beginning Nov. 1, the service will start “implementing restrictions on account sharing.”

“Unless otherwise permitted by your Service Tier, you may not share your subscription outside of your household,” an excerpt from the agreement reads.
