Website content suffers from a lack of clarity around what we mean and present in terms of "local content," generally with regard to language and region (often talked about as "interest"). This often comes up in conversations about filtering content based on various data: Does the site provide content specific to a region? Does the site's URL change based on language? on region? Does the site block a consumer's access based on the consumer's detected region (like, bbc tv)? We should use region exclusions, much like we do for webapps, unless we decide to ignore that entirely and let the user be informed of a site not working based on messaging within the site itself.
Ignoring some of the initial ruminating above, the short version is that we should use & respect exclusions for TV-oriented websites just like we currently do for webapps.
(Sorry, forgot one thing) I think the important part is that MOWs currently *do not* do that (iirc), so any changes for TV sites need to keep the differences intact.
Decision was to treat all content as global for v1. We will re-introduce this for/when v2.
