Mass surveillance helped the UK Counter Terrorism Police identify Russian spies Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov in Salisbury investigation who were trying to kill a family of dissidents.
Granted, the website is dedicated to mass surveillance in the IT. But then think, generally speaking, is the mass surveillance on some reasonable level really so bad? It's helping identifying Russian soldiers who are committing war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine. It helps preserve the free and democratic society rather than creates a road to dystopia. Of course, I'm speaking of some reasonable levels, not of something like real-time client device scanning. It doesn't make any sense and it would simply not work.
