10 years since it started, not since it ended.

You gotta eat big to be big.

This description is astonishingly accurate.

Props for saying National in Virginia. Everyone thinks it's in DC.

You're not really running vanilla Android in the strictest sense because you are not running an untouched Android image from AOSP. The Nexus come with stock OS which includes the Google framework. Therefore privacy is pretty much non-existent. Even if you download the stock image from AOSP for your Nexus device, Google as injected their apps into it ever since they took over the project. However you can remove them before installation.

To gain more privacy you would need to run a ROM without Google framework, and taking that a step further you could run Replicant. However, the latter has very limited hardware selection.
