Well, considering you cannot inspect the content of an HTTPS connection,
the *best* way to do that is to allow HTTPS connection only to websites
you know and want to authorize.

Your users must use a proxy you control to go on the Internet. Then, you
can just filter HTTPS website using a white list of authorized ones.

Note that, from the Netfilter point of view, HTTP and HTTPS connections
are only seen as TCP connection, no difference is made between them.

Regards,
Julien
