Social pressure - a group annoyed with Star of David Swastika post by Kanye

That image is the 'Raelian Star', a legally protected and registered trademark of a religious group that does not espouse any hateful views

Anyone can request this and can send a legally-binding 'cease and desist' request to anyone,

I'm still not sure you understand what legally binding means, there isn't any legal obligation created by receiving a cease and desist letter

Public perception of that star was sufficient to suspend Kanye's account. Context...

'Legally-binding' is a term for a legal letter that binds the plaintiff in this case, not the defendant. It's the plaintiff's legal (binding) record and initiation of legal action, in advance of the potential for a lawsuit.
