My guess, not watching the video, is that they notice that IPv6 (if 
actually deployed) gives a single fixed IP to each home on earth, 
possibly to each human. It allows things that were initially designed 
for IPv4 but died because there were not enough addresses for everybody. 
Things like sending an email with a "link" to some photos or videos 
located at your home computer directly, without using an intermediary to 
host the files. Or play a game with somebody without intermediaries. 
Direct email without servers becomes possible.

On IPv4 we use dynamic addresses. Our home address is constantly 
changed. On IPv6 you get a fixed address (unless you have a silly 
provider that uses dynamic addresses).

Fixed IPs is a problem if you intend to use file sharing systems like 
torrent or emule.
