Google is smart enough where they could've enforced the penalty on sites that should use HTTPS, such as those with any kind of form submission or login. But they chose not to without much of a reason, and that's why I can believe it helped some hidden motive of theirs.
- driverdan 8y ago> Sorry, but there's really no reason to force HTTPS on static webpages... I downvoted you because this is wrong. There are at least two good reasons for it: 1. It prevents MitM attacks. For example, some ISPs and free WiFi APs inject arbitrary code into unencrypted pages. 2. It improves privacy by hiding the request headers, including hostname.
