probably depends more on the kind of old lawyer. I've actually noticed that in general older people tend to be more privacy conscious than younger ones. Old people at least still know what secrecy of correspondence even is. It's not even a concept that exists any more for a lot of gen z.
In particular American supreme court arguments often stand out to me in how clearly the judges manage to connect old principles to newer technologies.
Meanwhile, it's predominantly young people who freely hand their information to mega-corps to be disseminated and distributed. Outside your (our) bubble young people don't give two craps about privacy.
It has nothing to do with them being "old". Saying that is a very ageist thing to say. I know a bunch of old techies who are completely against this. It's about lack of technical knowledge and how this is being twisted to seem okay. Your average millennial doesn't give a damn about it either.
