Snap explicitly claims to "work to proactively escalate any content that could involve imminent threats to life" [1]. Given this, it seems almost certain that the Wi-Fi explanation is miscommunication, misunderstanding, or misdirection.

On a broader note, two days in jail, two years in courts, and possibly over $100k in fines will make a mess out of a college kid's life. All that for a common joke is downright negligence on the part of the authorities simply because of the high risk of instilling a resentment toward society in the accused. Ugh.
