Of course, there will be cameras on the Olympic internet kiosks for sure. That Orwellian football game face-scanning was only a warmup.
I would be astonished if these were not logging keystrokes and complete recordings of screen video. I wouldn't be surprised if there were live COMINT people on site analyzing everything in real time for any potential threats. Maybe from another country if you have pesky laws about local COMINT people monitoring their own citizens, but they're going to be there and they're going to be working closely with local authorities. If you are anywhere near the Olympics, expect every telephone call to be listened to in real time and every internet connection to be monitored in real time. Bear Thinking about the "prank" value of connecting a Blum-Blum-Shub generator on some old 386 to a packet modem and setting it to broadcast occasionally from some obscure spot near the olympics to simulate encrypted traffic. But pretty sure that he would be charged with something if he did.
