Snitch

A "snitch" is a person who provides information about others, often informing authorities or those in power about illegal or secret activities. This act of revealing secrets can be motivated by various reasons, such as personal gain, fear, or moral conviction. In many communities, especially those involved in illicit activities, being labeled a snitch carries social stigma and potential danger, as it can betray trust and compromise safety. Essentially, a snitch acts as a whistleblower, disclosing covert information that others wish to keep hidden.
