[ipv6-wg] Users turning off IPv6 because of YouTube

Hello,
  I saw the same situation but in Latam, specifically in Costa Rica..,
ironically the result of:

curl -4 http://redirector.c.youtube.com/report_mapping
and
curl -6 http://redirector.c.youtube.com/report_mapping

  Was the same geo-loc. Of course our suggestion was to report it using
a google online form.

Bye,

Alejandro,
