Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where the bill explicitly recommends backdooring encryption?

The relevant paragraphs appear to be as follows, but the guidance looks quite vague...

257. The Government needs to provide more clarity on how providers with encrypted services should comply with the safety duties ahead of the Bill being introduced into Parliament.

258. We recommend that end-to-end encryption should be identifed as a specifc risk factor in risk profles and risk assessments. Providers should be required to identify and address risks arising from the encrypted nature of their services under the Safety by Design requirements.
