Google listening in to your room shows importance of privacy defense in depth
Has anyone actually confirmed that Chrome is continuously sending audio back to Google?  I <i>highly</i> doubt that this is the case.  Instead, the plug in knows how to recognize "OK Google" all by itself.  Once activated, then it starts sending audio data.<p><i>IF</i> it where really listening even when inactive, then people would be complaining about it sucking up bandwidth and data allotments.
