Right. There's no way this would go unnoticed on any enterprise or government network, and once noticed it would end the use Chrome in those environments. In fact it would have unimaginably huge consequences. It would mean huge numbers of CEOs and government officials in all countries where being bugged, all dependent on Google securely keeping millions of audio streams private. This doesn't pass the giggle test.

Then again, it's somewhat irrelevant since all sysadmins are already legally owned by security services and sworn to secrecy by the current legal frameworks, no cloak and dagger required. And it would be hard to believe that any competent foreign intelligence org hadn't fully infested such juicy targets as google and high value corporate networks long ago. There's an old rule that you shouldn't write down anything you wouldn't want to hear read out in a court of law. Same goes for online, and now for when you are in the vicinity of a mobile device.
