Apple has spent a little over $1 million over the third quarter on lobbying issues like consumer health data, safe driving, e-books and data privacy, among others, a recently filed disclosure has revealed.
For the quarter ended on Sept. 30, 2014, Apple spent a total of $1,010,000 on a variety of lobbying activities. Apple addressed 39 specific lobbying issues, such as e-book publishing, online safety, copyright and patent reform, safe driving (CarPlay) and regulation of mobile medical devices and health software applications (Apple Watch and HealthKit).
Apple's $1 million lobbying fund is small when compared to Google and Facebook, which spent $3.94 million and $2.54 million over the same three-month period, respectively.
