In making the submission, the submitter faked the title. The title on HN is at the moment: " Court confirms that IP addresses are personal data only in some cases" whereas there is no "only" word anywhere on the linked page. So the title on HN is misleading. Especially given the most important part of the article: "The CJEU decided that a dynamic IP address will be personal data in the hands of a website operator if: - there is another party (such as an ISP) that can link the dynamic IP address to the identity of an individual; and - the website operator has a "legal means" of obtaining access to the information held by the ISP in order to identify the individual." And it's known that the "legal means of obtaining access to that information" is very often present.
