If you don't comply, your website won't be recognized by Chrome.

[Infosecurity Magazine Explains:](http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/security-boost-as-google-ct/)

> Google is making its [Certificate Transparency ](https://www.certificate-transparency.org/)initiative mandatory for website certs issued from October 2017, in a bid to further improve stability and security on the internet.
> 
> In a [note online ](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!msg/ct-policy/78N3SMcqUGw/ykIwHXuqAQAJ)this week, software engineer Ryan Sleevi, clarified that any new certs issued after that time would not be recognized by Chrome.
> 
> “This is a significant step forward in the online trust ecosystem. The investments made by CAs adopting CT, and Chrome requiring it in some cases, have already paid tremendous dividends in providing a more secure and trustworthy internet,” he explained.
> 
> “The use of Certificate Transparency has profoundly altered how browsers, site owners, and relying parties are able to detect and respond to mis-issuance, and importantly, gives new tools to mitigate the damage caused when a CA no longer complies with community expectations and browser programs.”
