I'd argue they are both important points that are tightly interconnected.
#2 is bad on it's own and in my mind it shouldn't even get to the merits of discussing #1 because at that point the debate is already lost in favor of surveillance.
But beyond that, #1 is highly problematic, doubly so given the fact that government surveillance is basically a non-decreasing function.

I’d argue that #2 is good, since it offers much more privacy than scanning in the cloud. This is based on reading and understanding the technical summary and paper linked from there.
