Yep it also prevents anyone in the airport impersonating the WiFi and the bytedance server (which is trivial) and crafting payloads that run insecure code on your phone ( not that easy but there's heaps of CVEs like this in apps like Safari over the years, so there's at least 2x as many in an app like this)
