It is honestly just a terrible idea - you are essentially placing a target on yourself, no matter how you use it. Simply scanning a crowd of people with a camera, you are identifying people protesting from other civilians, in real-time and no cost. If you watched a crowd from above, over time you could find all sorts of patterns. In some countries, that could mean your whole family disappears.
The only groups I see benefitting from this are the agents of oppressive regimes, and the meth heads breaking into your storage shed at night and stealing your bike.

Then you would just need to clarify it further... It's not as if when you type "python language" or "python programming" that Google will respond with "No, sorry, you're only interested in snakes." I believe it's simply meant to help clarify unambiguous queries, and increase the ranking of the results that I'm normally interested in. At the bottom of almost every search you make, it says "Did you mean" - I would like them to make it easier to find, and I'd imagine they will.
I'm often looking up stuff related to code - I would love Google to know what languages I use, and present me with results specific to them. If I'm looking up something different, I'm sure Google will present me with their best guess of what I might mean...
