(Reuters) - To Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc and its lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, $925,000 isn't a whole lot of money.

You might even say that a million bucks, give or take, is nothing more than "loose change" to a company whose annual earnings topped $115 billion last year and to a law firm that reportedly grosses more than $2 billion annually.
