Disney plans to enforce this policy, but it promises to always monitor activity to see if people are complying with it.

Indeed, if Disney+ realises or believes its s are breaking the rules, access to the streaming platform might get limited or entirely terminated. “You will be responsible for any use of your by your household, including compliance with this section,” the new agreement reads (via Bob Iger confirmed that his team was aware that a ‘significant' number of s had been sharing s with friends and family, and that the company has the ‘technical capability' to monitor those s. At the time, he alluded that crackdown plans might start sometime in 2024, though now it seems like Disney+ jumped the gun a little.

Interestingly, a phrase on the agreement — “Unless otherwise permitted by your Service Tier” — suggests that certain Disney+ tiers might let you share s, after all.

For now, it's unclear if Disney+ will follow the same methods and as to what new subscription plans it might introduce.
