Since PCs are falling out of favor, you can bet that all locked-down non-PC devices will be gradually implementing "lawful and compliant" restrictions on user activity, and hefty surveillance "just in case."
Android devices will be no exception, and families/businesses will be encouraged to install "lawful and compliant" software on all new computers. Any vendors looking to get a foothold in the UK will be jumping on this bandwagon, and I wouldn't be surprised if Canonical tries to get in on the action too.
It would be good to see Google take steps, beyond publishing the AOSP repos, to build trust in their systems and services:
1. Publish build-able Android source code for as many products as possible and incentivize OEMs to publish their source code.
2. Support strong encryption for storage and communications, including friendly key exchange and key-signing features. E.g. NFC-enabled key signing in Android devices.
3. Open source client software, e.g. an open source GMail client for Android and desktop, to build trust in their crypto implementations.
