Informing about certain peoples with bad characteristics is not backbiting unless it names known peoples. However, a Muslim should keep their tongue pure from mentioning the faults of people. If one of these peoples is present, it is not permissible due to the harm it causes, or if this is mentioned in the context of speaking about a specific person, then it becomes backbiting at that point.
