An Important Google Update

Good evening WA. I just came back from a Woo Commerce Meetup. One of the speakers told us he had a conversation with Google yesterday. He was told Google will be , as of January of 2017, putting a notice in the SERPs informing people "This website is not secure" if you have an e-commerce site without an SSL Certificate. I was told some months ago that Wealthy Affiliate does not support SSL. Kyle, if you are reading this, I would like to know if this is accurate. If WA actually does not support SSL then anyone with an e-commerce site will probably be looking for other hosting. I understand WA is one of many hosts who do not support SSL. Those of us with web stores should be aware of this and do our own due diligence.

Does anyone else here know of this? I just heard of it from two of the members at the meetup and I don't know what to think about it. If you have knowledge of this, please let us know. Thanks a bunch in advance.
