Disney is reportedly considering banning or heavily restricting live streaming from its theme parks, following a recent'swatting' incident at Disneyland. This comes after a recent incident triggered a massive police response following a false emergency call, which was believed to be a hoax. The focus of this crackdown is not just safety and casual filming, but also about money, sources suggest.

However, many users are unsure if this would be feasible to enforce due to their smartphone usage.
