Essentially traffic will pass through a device that will decrypt the traffic, check the "plain text", then re-encrypt using the actors certificates. The browser "trusts" those certificates so won't complain. Browser makers may have to have versions for the snoop countries and for the "free" countries.
I guess you could get a "free" version but you would have lots of warnings about untrusted certificates. I'd also guess that the actors device would have to find a way to pass on any originating problems so you would still get warnings about "real" untrusted certificates.
I am not really interested about the workability of the solution here as the implications for secure communication.

I imagine that this will be being done to flag up concerning searches for things like child porn, information on how to make a bomb, how to commit suicide etc.
I do think that this Act will always have to be a work in progress as technology is changing so fast. One new thing that's arisen is the use of images of real children being used to create child porn via the use of AI.
