your site can get penalized (de-ranked or even de-indexed) for link spam, or link building (depending on circumstances)

If you do aggressive link building / creating spammy backlinks, it will cause a website to get penalized or de-indexed by the search engine.
You will not get penalised until you break the search engine guidelines.

Aggressive link building can trigger Google's unnatural link warnings or penalties, leading to a drop in rankings or even keyword disappearance from the SERPs. To avoid this
1. Get links from relevant, trusted sites.
2. Diversify your link sources, including guest posts, PBNs, Web 2.0, press releases, and more.
3. Avoid building a large number of links all at once; instead, space them out over time to maintain a natural link profile.

If I push aggressive links, I balance them with strong branded and nofollow links to dilute the risk. If a site gets hit, best move is to slow down, clean up the worst offenders, and let it cool before making any big changes.
