Social network behemoth Facebook spent more than USD$1m on lobbying for the first time last year, racking up a total spend of USD$1.35m in pushing their interests over causes such as censorship by foreign governments and international software company regulation.In the last quarter of the year their bill almost doubled to USD$440,000 but they are still dwarfed by Google who are the biggest lobbying spender in the tech industry in spending USD$9.98 million in 2011.
Microsoft spend USD$7.34 million in an attempt to carry favour with politicians.
