Be at peace. Doesn’t look like you sinned at all.

Example 1:

Your ex girlfriend slept around; only you knew.
You warn your buddy not to date her for that reason. He warns his friend likewise. Word spreads around and her reputation disintegrates.

Example 2:

You’re a journalist, and catch a story about an official’s corruption. You choose to run the story and it damages his reputation and he resigns

Would either of these examples be examples of the sin of detraction?
