• Instagram camera access - First of all this feature is not new. Instagram has been using free access to your camera from quite a long time. It is not hidden, you have given them access by clicking on "Allow" when the message popped up for "Allow Instagram to access your Camera." Nevertheless, it is not specified when does the application access the camera, is it all the time? Or just when you use it.
• Instagram can modify your account - Yes, after you have accepted their Terms and Conditions, Instagram has the right to "remove, edit, block, and/or monitor Content or accounts containing Content." They can even read your disputes and get involved in them.
• Instagram has a license to use your contents freely - In the clause "We do not claim ownership of your content, but you grant us a license to use it," Instagram clearly mentions that they do not claim ownership of your content (chats, pictures, stories, videos, IG TV contents). However, by using their services you provide them with certain legal permissions known as a “license” to "non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content."
• Instagram microphone access - This term is also one of the oldest ones as Instagram had itself claimed to hire many people to listen to the recordings. 
• You cannot sue or join a class-action lawsuit against Instagram - Well, by accepting the Instagram Privacy Policy, you waive your right to sue them and if there is damage, you will only be eligible to get $100.
