Section 230 provides a useful shield for retweeting and for reposting. I am not sure that long-term custody or quasi-bailment of a file for multiple users or re-users defeats common carriage status. Common carriage (the public calling of transport) is often combined with warehousing.

Back to the Future II provides a scene of long-term custody of a message by Western Union, which was in 1989 still a common carrier of messages/despatches.
