Hulu Bans Password Sharing: Non-Compliant Accounts Risk Termination
  • Hulu, under Disney's ownership, is enforcing new rules to prevent password sharing outside of subscriber households.

  • Users in violation of the updated subscriber agreement risk having their Hulu access terminated.

  • The policy change aligns with Disney CEO Bob Iger's strategy and mirrors actions already taken in Canada and by Netflix.

  • Hulu subscribers have until March 14 to adjust to these new terms before facing potential account suspension or termination.

  • Hulu's integration into the Disney+ app and a price hike for its ad-free plan are additional upcoming changes.

  • Disney's crackdown on password sharing is part of a broader effort to boost subscriber numbers and will be discussed in the February 7 earnings call.
