Audio clip of the Bad Place in The Good Place
In the first episode of "The Good Place", Janet plays a brief audio clip of what's happening in the Bad Place.
However, we later learn that Eleanor is already in the Bad Place, and that Janet is NOT part of Michael's deception crew and is further one of the good Janets that Michael stole. I realize that Janet may be playing an audio clip of what's going on elsewhere in the Bad Place, but isn't this extremely deceptive for a good Janet?
Best Answer
This could be an audio clip from another Bad Place, with classic torture, which Janet can play them. And technically, Neighbourhood 12358W is different from the Bad Place, and since Janet never directly told anyone that they're in the good place, she isn't lying, just hiding information as Michael told her to.

Answer 2
While Janet is good and can't lie, she isn't lying by providing information about the bad place
Janet may not be able to lie but there is no compulsion on her to tell the complete truth. Besides, nobody asks her whether they are really in the bad place as nobody realises this until the last episode of series 1. When she responds with an audio recording of the Bad Place she is telling the truth: the bad place really is like that. And she isn't free to say more: she does say she can only play an audio recording and can't say any more.
Moreover, while she is a good Janet (stolen from the Good Place) she has obviously been somehow programmed by Michael to do his bidding and to sustain the illusion that his neighbourhood is the Good Place. So there may be constraints on what she can offer. She does say she can only play an audio recording and can't give more information. Presumably, if she were an unmodified Good Janet she could give more information when asked.
In short, the audio clip is consistent with Janet's nature and not, in context, deceptive.
