'''Stealing.''' The Sefer Ha-Chinuch is a classical work on the Torah's 613 mitzvos (precepts), and regarding the Torah's prohibition, "You shall not covet" (Deuteronomy 5:18), the author writes:"It is in force everywhere, at every time, for both man and woman. All humankind too is duty-bound by it, since it is a branch of the precept about robbery, which is one of the seven mitzvos that all in the world were commanded to keep."The Sefer Ha-Chinuch goes on to explain that the "Seven Mitzvos of the Children of Noah" are actually seven "categories" of mitzvos, and they therefore contain many details. There are some forms of negative speech that can cause people a monetary loss. For example, a person may gossip about a co-worker at work, and when the gossip spreads, the co-worker is fired from his job or loses an opportunity to be promoted to a better-paying position. One can argue that the person who gossiped has committed an act which deprived a person of his income - a form of stealing. Just like coveting is prohibited because it can lead to theft, so too, negative speech that can lead to a loss of money for someone is also prohibited, as this too is a form of theft." One would therefore need to consult with a halachic scholar as to whether speech that could lead to monetary damage is actually prohibited to Noahides as a form of theft.
