That's really shit. I know you're probably feeling really really shit (and completely fairly), but when you start to feel better you should write them a strongly worded email, essentially calling them a gaggle of cunts. I guess the silver lining (even though that doesn't make up for it) is that at least you've seen their true colours early on. I know it doesn't change things, but you'll probably be better off working elsewhere if that's the kind of business they run.

::: also if you feel like being petty: spoiler Also, you can name and shame if you feel comfortable doing so. You won't be sued. The very worst that could happen is you may get a cease and desist (they can be sent for any reason AFAIK), but nothing would hold up in court provided you don't tell people to harass them or release personal info :::
