Your account can be deleted without prior notice and without a reason
At any time, your account can be terminated without explanation and without warning by the service.
Your Personal data may be sold unless you opt out
There is a form to opt-out (typically California's CCPA) of the selling of your personal data. This is a bad a point because there are many services that don't have this form due to not selling your data in the first place.
Your personal data may be used for marketing purposes

You have a reduced time period to take legal action against the service
If you wish to bring legal action against a service about a past incident, you may not be able to do so if the Terms you agreed to implied a limited amount of time.

You are forced into binding arbitration in case of disputes
This service forces users to use their own contracted arbitrator and forces users to waive their rights to jury trial.
You are tracked via web beacons, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, and device fingerprinting
Tracking technologies (such as web beacons, tracking pixels...) are employed on users and/or the service assigns a unique ID to a browser or device to track its behaviour.
Instead of asking directly, this Service will assume your consent merely from your usage.
The Service infers your acceptance from your continued usage, instead of prompting you to read the new Terms and asking for direct consent. This doesn’t apply to services that have no way to seek consent from users through their contact details or an account.
You waive your right to a class action.
The right to be represented in a class action (or representative action) exists in the US and some European countries. It allows people who have been similarly injured by the same accused to take legal action by a single lawsuit instead of individually. Some Terms of Service try to limit that right. By agreeing to them, you could waive (= renounce to) your right to a class action, which might reduce your chances to be successful in a case.
