The UK can offer an huge selection of different ISP.
The problem is the network, all the POTS, coax, fibre. What to do with the network and how to keep it funded and working?
Make every ISP virtual on hardware that is kept away from the role of an ISP?
Allow one telco to be the hardware network owner and offer their own ISP?
Consider past collection efforts in Ireland. The UK security services sorted every call and voice print in Ireland. Every call between Ireland and the USA, every call for support and funds flowing from the USA to Ireland. The UK followed Irish funding and support globally. Shipments, cash, human rights groups, front companies, faith groups, political support, lawyers, anything and anyone that supported Irish issues. Once found the UK acted globally to stop all such support for Irish issues.
Action to stop the support and worked deep within communities in Ireland.
Information flow was kept tight within the GCHQ, UK mil, RUC Special Branch. Other police and CID officers did not really have a full understanding of collection. The UK press did not know, wider UK police did not know. UK police could not pass stories to the UK press. The UK courts and lawyers did not get told.
The UK security service could then focus on interesting people in their own communities. In the UK, USA, Ireland and globally. The funding, political support, networks, every group in the UK.
Re "that shows they have either broken into his phone already or picked up some data from his ISP already."
The change in the UK was a political change from the traditional UK methods that worked to a more US method of profits for outside contractors.
All the contractors wanted was more UK over time and to sell the UK more secret super computers. Rent more software and provide support. Every issue can be found and corrected just by finding a voice print, tracking a phone, getting plain text from any consumer device.
What the UK did with that nation wide collection was not considered as the budget could only cover mass collection.
The UK could not fund two methods so all the new funding went to collection.
Even an East Germany knew it had to sort the information gathered. Collection is useless without funding for sorting.
What worked so well in Ireland was that the UK knew every interesting person by voice print, by name, by photo and was in their community watching 24/7.
Just collecting on every person in the UK is only the first step.
The UK has to now rediscover the skills of sorting and 24/7 tracking of every interesting person in the UK and globally.
More Local Intelligence Committee work than contractor computer work.
When all you have is methods that got used in the Soviet Union and Ireland, every issue has to fit a voice print, digital collection pattern.
The security services now expect everyone to have a digital device and use it.
Communication technology is what had the over time, funding, the expansion in staff, political support and contracts for new methods.
So the security services are now all ready for the methods they saw the Soviet Union use or that got used in Ireland
Communication technology took funding away from policing and the undercover methods of the security services.
The ability to stay undercover in a community takes decades of work, is a real skill that needed funding and political support.
If funding for that skill is taken away from the security service and police? Then every issues has to be communication technology related as that is all the UK invested in.
The UK has two options.
Use the GCHQ as it did in Ireland. Collect everything, sort and act on the information gathered.
It took Ireland a while to work out why its support from the USA was not flowing as well as expected and the US east coast actions of the UK government.
Offers to change sides got made to most people of interest to the UK.
That needed helicopters, car tracking, telephone tracking, voice prints, people who could work in Ireland and not be noticed in any local community.
The problem for the UK is all its spending is going to digital collection. In the expectation that every issue can be understood with more digital collection.
If interesting people don't use digital devices then the UK has to consider more traditional collection methods.
So a 9 to 12 person shift of security services has to be found for every interesting person.
The UK now has too many interesting people to watch 24/7 and not enough staff to sit in cars, vans or buildings keeping one person under watch.
Millions of very interesting people moving in and around the UK need millions of staff to watch in shifts.
The numbers become East German with the ratio of informants, government workers to interesting people.
The other issue for the UK is active, generational counter surveillance. The more new staff the UK gov hires, the more of a fifth column, quisling issues gets created within the UK government and its security services.
New staff with language skills cannot be trusted and are detected collecting on the methods of the security services.
New staff stay loyal to their faith as they enter any government. The new staff then rise up the ranks of the UK government and security services, always reporting back to their faith groups.

Re 'give over their accounts that they use to actively proclaim.."
The question is like the old political party question on entry to the USA. All the USA has to find any trace of a lie and access to the USA is revoked.

Its very hard to hide from friends of friends internet usage. A photo?
Facial recognition works well over all the different public and private databases the US has a gov, mil or has access to in the private sector.

The code can outlast any rebuild, reinstall. Its more about been nice place to hide rather than needing a network out connection that will show in any log.

The crypto can be examined and passed by outside experts. The product that then arrives as a random shipment is altered junk.
The data is then collected in person later, or from a normal network.
That makes it better? The CIA has to distract a person to get to the phone? Or become their friend? Or watch their online shopping and alter it during shipping?.
The physical access just avoids unexpected network sweeps, logs or code litter.
No network access to the device to alter the device, no network access to remove captured data.
Its more about tradecraft than any US domestic legal protection.

The US gov would own the new pipe. Any ISP can then network along that high-density optical cabling.
One new connection to every address, any provider in the USA is treated equal once requested.
Any other ISP could then roll out the same service to a home using that optical cabling ability.
Cost would be the only issue for the USA. Wealthy areas would pay back the costs with plan usage.
Poor areas would not be able to afford new services even with gov support for some low cost phone and broadband services.
A network in poor areas would just see new equipment removed and sold for scrap by the local population.
So poor areas would get optical but the result would be phone and low speed gov supported internet not new optical broadband speeds.
The "internet" gap would still exist as poor areas cant afford fast internet. A bit like spending on eduction in poor areas. Decades later after all the spending test results and IQ's stay low.
Fast networks into poor areas don't make people smarter, improve education, health care or get people out of poverty.
But it will provide contractors with years of service work in poor areas of the USA.
Thats a federal contract worth lobbying for:)
Russia learned a lot on how the CIA got the text to Khrushchev's "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" speech https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
Russian staff work on paper files in secure building now.
Stay in restricted city, town. No way MI6/CIA can get in to offer cash for file.
In West policy created by party political think tank on web browser connected to internet.
Many other nations read along in real time as policy correction made and then final document is prepared.
How many new Tailored Access Operations staff can park at an airport to work in the secure part of an of airport?
Most baggage has to make a flight with a passenger as airlines have a policy to link baggage to a passenger on the same flight.
How many seconds would power up and reading from a consumer device take given the needed speed and quantity of moving luggage that has to move around an airport?
Just a removal of contact data e.g. emails, IM, Skype from a device? All images and text files and then repack in time for the flight?
Seconds? 60 seconds allowed per device on the fastest consumer grade device connection to get some of the data and alter the OS to a NSA/CIA standard?
Then repack and allow the luggage, to move to the next device.
How many work stations per flight to access interesting consumer devices and the repack?
Pre sort all baggage that only has books, clothing, traditional gifts. What is the ratio of luggage will have interesting electronic devices in it in 2017 if all devices have to be pre packed?
Flights to the UK and US per hour given an average device count per flight and interesting people.
How to reduce that "every device" count down? Profile each passenger and select only the interesting people. Is the passport, face, voice print linked to a friend of a friend who is interesting to the security services? Alter the device and recover all data at 3 or 4 hops from an interesting person?
The last question is how to hide a large amount of new US gov cleared Tailored Access Operations staff from the everyday random airport staff?
A new secure site or building to push every interesting bag with a device to with a complex network of new, much faster mil grade conveyor systems? Then return the baggage in time for the flight?
A baggage handling system could just move out a lot of bags in a more secure, isolated part of the airport. The inspected and altered devices return at another isolated part of the main airport conveyor system.
How far and fast can a new US/UK funded gov modern conveyor system move a bag from the main conveyor system?
A new very secure cargo site with 100 new workers who never mix with existing airport staff? 1000 workers and the staff parking issue might get noticed.
Hard to hide 1000 new jobs at an airport that never got mentioned in the public or private sector?
Use a "secure" cargo company as a front company that brings in all its own staff?
An unexpected flood of funding for upgrades to the main conveyor system? Teams of new contractors working 24/7 on new tunnels to a new secure cargo site?
Given the human access the device all the normal NSA, CIA physical software access could be allowed. No firewall or limited network issues like in the airport or hours of random in person interviews to cover for device access, alteration and cloning.
Will the next generation of US consumer devices support soft power on/off wake on wireless LAN so it could be done without opening and on the move?
People in the UK have had generations of government approved media both in the public and private sector.
The freedom of speech or freedom after speech is limited by UK gov policy.
Funding is collected and approved content is produced for that ability to publish or broadcast.
Private media in the UK has to publish within gov guidelines or they have to face gov questions about their role as a publisher or broadcaster.
So content in the UK is SJW safe, approved and regulation can even revoke the ability to publish.
Then the US "internet" happened and the UK played along with freedom for a while. Now the UK SJW want control back.
Time to reshape the "internet" so it fits back in with the policy and culture of SJW in the UK.
Internet in the UK will return to what UK television, publishing was in the UK in the 1950-90's
A lot of new content but its all UK government approved.
The interaction with the US idea of freedom of speech will be corrected in the global marketplace by adding more SJW staff.
UK net users will be returned to safe tax payer funded propaganda and the normal approved public private partnership content.
Are we going to see bans on issue that upset Communist China?
Given the investment China makes in US popular culture?
No more Tiananmen square? 1989? No mention of 1950's Communist party policy? A ban on any negative comments to protect the historical narrative surrounding of the Communist party in China?
A lot of wealthy monarchies and theocracies may not like to be reminded of their faiths or cults teachings?
Ban cartoons that are considered blasphemy and also take an active role to prevent apostasy?
Ban news about the results of illegal immigration?
Discussions on aspects of history? Literature, topics and authors that SJW want to see no discussion of?
Turning any site or brand into a safe space by banning content and reporting users to their respective governments is not going to attract new users looking to comment on events and history. They can be reported on and banned in their own nations.
Freedom of speech and freedom after speech is unique to the USA, sell that unique protection to the world. Any other nation can ban and report its users for free.
".. First Amendment protection of speech somehow should be imposed on private companies' Internet-facing content.. "
Thats fine until governments, political leaders use a service at a city, state and federal level.
Then the product becomes more of a public record that needs to allow access, comment and archiving.
Allowing different governments in is not a "private companies" "Internet-facing content".
