I am so tired of seeing ideas that are indiscernible from satire. This is like something that they would have come up with on HBO's Silicon Valley.

Who do I complain to when a nearby golf course orders some nightshine and now my sky looks like I'm under a fucking police helicopter?

This has in fact already been done, by the Soviets.

I've seen this proposed two decades ago, but basically under a dual use proposal: orbital solar concentrator and death laser.

I had the same thought as you -- glad to see I'm not the only one.
