A good start would be to demand that internet infrastructure operators do just that - and nothing more.
Internet providers do just that one job: Routing IP. No peeking into my packages please.
Strengthening and regulating the underlying world-wide infrastructure: undersea cables, transcontinental fiber networks - with oversight that prevents any org (public or private) from intercepting traffic would go a long way to protect the Public Interest.
Alas, a pipe dream.
